Mother and Father is getting a divorces

Oh this would have been a hard one. It would depend on who decided to get divorce and why. If my dad had an affair I would go with my mom. If my mom had an affair I would have gone with my dad. If it had to do with any type of abuse either side I would go with the one who was being abused. If it was a mutual thing between the both I was daddy little girl so I would probably go with him. Only to make sure he was taking care of himself and that he was ok. Thank God I never had to go through this. They just celebrated their 54 years of marriage in February.

I grew up in an age where divorce was a negative thing. It meant that a family couldn't work through their problems to keep the familial unit intact. Now, it's very common. My parents were married for 38 years before divorcing. I think they waited until all of us kids had "grown up" and moved out. I think I was 23 when they divorced so thankfully I was spared having to make a choice between the two of them. If you're still under age when parents divorce, I wonder how much say you actually have in the decision of which parent to go with? Personally, I don't think I would have been able to make that choice. I loved, and still love, both my parents equally. They both have their strengths and weaknesses. I probably would have found some way to go off on my own before having to choose one parent over the other. To have to choose would not only hurt me, it would hurt them.

I am happy I have no such problem,if I have to select I would select mother.someone said that a poor mother is better than a rich father.Have a good day.

This is a tough one indeed and I used to think about it as well because there was this time that my parents really got into a very tense situation.And even the very sight of them having the 'cold war' is pretty unbearable for me and at that time I was always down for the whole day. But whenever I come to this question I can never reach an answer. And thank God I don't have to make that decision because now they are back to normal and I'm just glad they work it through.

I am lucky, that my parents are a good marriage. I've never had this situation and do not want to have. Compassion for all those, who have this problem.

Well when my parents divorced i went with my mother since my father was not interested in dealing with a child, so i had no interest in him.

My parents did get a divorce when I was a kid. Both my sister and I went with our mother.

Hello juggergre. My parents are now in their senior age, eighties and seventies. I am glad that they have lived through their marriage till now. I never heard of such a thing that my parents would get divorced as a child. My mother takes good care of my father, who is older. To get divorced is absolutely not a good thing for the growth of a child. I can only say that I am happy to be brought up in a good family without having to worry about my parents' relationship.

Children are usually closer to their mothers. Our mothers nurture us. We usually feel more loved by our mothers than by our fathers. However, it really depends on who is the better parent. Some mothers are terrible at being mothers and some men are bad fathers. I'd be with the parent who makes me feel loved and who does not abuse me. My parents separated when I was eight. I chose to be with my Mom. My Dad had a mistress and was not home most of the time. He was also a drunkard. I don't regret choosing to be with my Mom when they split up. I was better off with her.

i grew up seeing my father and mother always fight. they did not get a divorce for there are no divorce in our country, my father just left our mother. i dont know why my mother did not file any complains or to push this things on court. but we all stayed with our mother. i guess our father does not want us with his new found relationship. well that was 20 years ago already. i have my own family and i am doing my best for my son to be proud of me.

Sometimes in my childhood days...my friend have asked that to me.. and of course, I chose my mom...but now, that I already grew up and grown up.. I will choose both.. if can't be both, I'd rather live alone and I will just visit them every now and then :)

Sad to hear. Nope my mother and father both are together and i don't find anything wrong in them.

My father and mother got a divorce when I am 10.It is 7 years since then.I go with my mother.During 7 years my father and I had no contrat.I kown my father hopes I am a boy however I am not.My father had another child who is a girl too.Maybe I can't forgive my father.It is lucky for me that my mother loves me.She puts all her efforts on me.

is wrong to have te mother and the father divorce cos it will affect the childs future

For me I'm in the time who can feed me without mooring and can discipline much in good behavior.
