I was thinking she was only going to live long enough to see two Christmases...

[suspicioususer@lemmy.ml]

That was me. Leave the house at 8 AM, get home after midnight, every place pressuring you to eat a full large meal and why you gotta leave soooo early.

Oh man.... as a child of divorce I should feel bad about how hard I laughed at that.

[peoplebeproblems@midwest.social]

Oh jeez. It's been so long since I've seen that thank you.

But 4real tho my marriage was a hollow shell and a cruel charade

[theangryseal@lemmy.world]

I just didn’t see my father anymore haha.

My step dad was great though. He was a batshit crazy and dumb hillbilly, but he loved us. My father disappeared after he and my mother divorced. My step dad was there after he and my mom divorced, until he died a few years ago. That man had troubles and more troubles, but he would have dropped anything to help me out to the best of his ability.

In defense of my father, my mom didn’t make it easy. At all. I don’t blame any of them though. They did the best they could with what they were equipped with.

Why not do the visits over a few days like we do?

[suspicioususer@lemmy.ml]

People died and I also got divorced

Reminds me of this scene from the Good Boys movie.

[brbposting@sh.itjust.works]

Hmm that credit is kinda clashy huh, wonder if he’s redone it

[greenknight23@lemmy.world]

as a child of not divorce but it was normal for parents to be so cold to each other and towards their children, I was confused until your comment.

when I realized I had a good laugh, then realized how fucked I am by not realizing it sooner.

Damn boneitis

[stupidmanager@lemmy.world]

This hits the feels. I was 15 when my parents divorced. I was crushed. My younger sister however, was giddy. Not because she thought the divorce was cool, but because her best friend told her that after her parents divorced, she got 2 really amazing christmases with expensive gifts that tried to outshine the other parent. Oh, but not us… we were poor. Reality hit next year for her, when my mom couldn’t afford food, let alone gifts.

I was 22. It just went on for 5 years. They're both better generally happier now, but christ that was rough.

[peoplebeproblems@midwest.social]

I moved out a while ago, the divorce is taking forever.

Man my mental and physical health hasn't been better.

She was hot, but goddamn, hot ain't worth what I went through.
