<font color="purple">How has divorce effected you?
Well, my parents divorce didn't have any sort of major kind of psycological impact on me, I was 5. In any case, the biggest two problems that I've ever faced were custody issues- I really wanted to live with mom, but I went to live with my dad because he was much more grounded then she was. Another problem is that I'm always feeling guilty that I love one parent more then the other, because that's probably hurt the other parent who isn't as loved feel like crap.

Were your parents abusive to each other and/or to you?
Nope, though I must say I've had a run-in with a questional babysitter, it was mostly my peers who were more abusive.

Was there any alcohol or drugs involved?
No, they just divoced because the just didn't love eachother anymore after 10 years I guess.

Do you wish that your parents could have worked things out? Or are you happier now that they are apart?
You know, I used to hope all the time when I was a kid that they would get back together, but I've learned to accept that it's not going to happen. In the end, it's for the better because now I think after 11 years of being divorced they've both found their soul mates. (and having two families in one isn't bad either)

Which is worse - dealing with divorce - or watching your parents obviously not love each other anymore?
Definately dealing with the divorce. It's not like my parents hatedeachother, they just were apathetic and made sure to be civil because my brother and I were involved. I don't ever remember them being lovey-dovey to begin with, so I've never been bothered.

By the way, I'll be turning 17 this June.
