Fault

By problemchild - 02/11/2009 21:05 - United States

Today, I went to a family counseling session because my parents are getting a divorce. I told the counselor that I feel guilty because I feel like I caused it. She says that there is no way I could have caused it, that it's my parents' problem when my mom interrupts her to say, "Yes she did." FML

kids are never the cause of a divorce. the parents just suck

I've heard of this happening sometimes when the wife becomes jealous of the attention that the father pays to the daughter.

I am sorry your mother is a bitter old bint. I know how it feels to get blamed for something that wasn't your fault. As a child of divorced parents it really sucks when they drag you into the mix. Just don't let this ruin the rest of your life. Don't take the blame, even if they THINK it is your fault, it is THEIR marriage and if they wanted it to work then they would have tried harder.

At least that explains why you feel like you've caused it.

I don't know how old you are but take my advice, don't let it bother you. It's definitely NOT your fault. Your mother is suffering from the same syndrome mine is, "It's Somebody Else's Fault Syndrome". She'll probably spend her life blaming everyone but herself for her bad choices or missed opportunities. Trust me, mine does.

Ignore your mother. There is something wrong with her. If I were you, I'd tell her that there is something severely wrong with her, and until she seeks help and recovers from her ****** upedness that you refuse to contact her. Tell her that she is ****** up and to blame for the divorce because she can't even take resposibility for her life. It's her life, and her choices, so it can NOT be your fault.

[hug]? It certainly wouldn't be your fault. No one would break up a perfectly happy relationship over a child. Right? Thats just silly... and if so, that's what boarding school is for. :)

Maybe she did cause it? By being a retarded problem child, and the extra strain cost them their relationship, so no fyl but be happy your mom is being honest with you. *****.

115- I don't see what her parents relationship has to do with her parents marriage. If her parents thought she was such a big problem then they should have sent her to boarding school, military school or gotten her into see someone about it. They have schools like that for a reason. If not then its not her fault. Her parents need to realize their children are not the reason they are divorcing. If anything, truly strong people would have seen their child as a reason to unite and help the child.

**** you #115, it's never the kids fault, the parents created the kid, if it wasn't for them doing that there would be no problem, therefore whether the kids an angel or a little bastard it all comes back to the initial action of the parents, ergo there fault no matter what. Shame on you for picking on a clearly vulnerable and probably young girl, my parents got divorced when i was a kid, you wanna start on me to? i dare you to try arsewhole. I have totaly and completly got this girls back, her mom's a parasite. My parents divorce was pretty messy, i got through it without counceling though, go to your grandparents, tell them what your mom said, if they're half decent they'll crush the bitch, mine really supported me. My support goes to you, stay strong girl, don't listen to these wankers
