not sure when it was official, I think I was around 9.
mom rented a cabin for us up in Wisconsin,
and dad came, drunk after his grandfather’s funeral,
and my mom took him into her bed.
they had already split 2 years earlier,
we left Texas and our dad with nothing but the clothes
on our back.
it got pretty ugly when mom met our soon to be stepdad, with our dad.
I won’t go into that.

My parents got divorced when I was only 8 years old. In the end it was a good thing, i got to stay and live with my great mom and didnt have to see my as*hole dad anymore.

yeah, me too, but my mom still insisted we have a relationship with him.
sometimes we’d wait outside for hours for him to show up for a weekend visit.

My parents knew each other only two weeks before they got married. It was not a happy marriage. It lasted over twenty years and they didn’t get divorced until I was in my mid twenties. My dad came out ahead in the bargain I think. He left my mom for someone he not only truly loved, but he really liked her and they stayed happily married 20 years until his death in 2007.
My mom was not so lucky. My dad had not treated her very nicely and we never had a lot of money growing up. She married a guy who could support her in the affluent manner she had grown up in but I think few people envied her. He was a hard guy to live with, a control freak and he may or may not have beat her. My dad had a good job but we were definitely barely middle class. She could finally live comfortably with her new husband but I don’t think she was very happy with him. I’m glad he could provide her with a nice house and a grand piano and a nice car but he was somewhat of a bully and it had to have been tough living with him on a day to day basis.

My parents split when I was four and a half. I definitely blame my father for my problems in life.
My parents split when I was 9.
They were, and still are, on good terms.
They were honest with us and said they just didn’t love each other that way anymore, and wanted to split up while they remained friends.
They both found new partners who they married and love very much.
Mum married my stepdad when I was 12, dad married my stepmom when I was 18.
I’ve never seen any of them happier, and I love all my parents.

My parents divorced when I was 13.
They still work together, but my dad will retire in July so that will be the end of a chapter.
My parents are still together, despite their both having disabilities. I think they care for each other pretty well in most things

I think my parents got divorced in 1997 when I was 7. My mom wanted a divorce for some reason so my dad said ok. I don’t remember my parents ever being together because my dad was in the army for 4 or 5 years before his divorce and I don’t remember when he went into the army and had to go to Germany.

I am from divorced parents. I only wished they had divorced when I was a child instead of when I was 21, I hated my father and still do.
My parents divorced when I was 6.
My parents are still happily married.
My mom, sister and me went out of town for the weekend and when we got back there was a note saying that my dad wasn’t going to be staying with us anymore and that he couldn’t live with us. It was cool though because he was a very mean man.
