I Have Divorced Parents

Silent Pain

By: EllieMaeJo
Written on January 24th, 2013
My parents separated about 4 months ago. My mom and I now live in an apartment while my older brother lives with my dad. I always knew it wasn't a good marriage and my mom would talk to me about it, but it still didn't prepare me for this life. There's always "Don't tell Mom" or "Don't tell Dad". It's really difficult with me trying to have a normal teenage life. I never cry in front of my mom so I can be strong for her but lately its been getting tougher and I have bad nightmares. I just wish somebody understood. And a hug :)

    I am sorry you are being put in the middle. My daughter has actually told me she is relieved that her father and I are not together. I have encouraged her to go to her dad's but she doesn't want to go. I have not ask her not to tell him anything. We are not together so it is not his business. I sure hope things get better! Hugs to you!!
