Today, I overheard my parents discussing their divorce. Apparently, what they mostly disagree over is that neither of them want custody of me and are considering delaying their divorce until I’m 18, because at least then legally I’m not either of their problem to deal with. FML

Today, I was arguing with one of my professors. She said that all married couples fight and I told her that my parents have never argued or fought about anything. When I got home my parents told me that they're getting a divorce. FML

Today, my parents are furious and are refusing to let me see my kids. Why? They're raising my kids after I lost them to foster care and I stopped fighting for custody, and just announced my pregnancy with my new boyfriend. FML

I'm sorry to hear it. But I feel your pain. My parents used me and my sister as weapons to hurt each other till the day they died.

Maybe they are sharing custody ( 50/50). It's easier than one fighting for full custody.

So, I take it that you wrote this from a box. On a serious note, I sincerely hope that things look up for you. Show them that you are worthy -- not by begging them, of course -- but by making yourself happy and successful. That's the ticket. |the kid|

I think that is a good thing. Just because they divorced doesn't mean they don't live you. Perhaps by not "fighting" over custody they both felt like whichever of them was awarded custody would treat you right. Loving parents wouldn't want to drag their kids thru the mud! Maybe you should try asking them.
