Okay, well, i'm 18. My dad has pulled me through two divorces in my 18 years of life. The first one was when I was 2. The current one was about 2 years ago. I don't really fit into this community, as I have never been divorced. However, I know the effects and situations that men and women have to go through. What's a STBX? X-spouse? I'm trying to read these posts, but some are way over my head. However, I am a very mature 18 year old, so I think I can understand them. Thanks! ~Socc~

Welcome, you may have some insights for some of the people here who are going through divorce with children. I know that it hurts me to see my children have to suffer because of this. I have a seventeen year old daughter and I know she is struggling. I hope all is well in your life.

when i said pulled, it wasn't really meant in a good way. his divorce with my mom was unexpected, totally unnessacary. my mom still doesn't really have much clue why he left her. However, she is much better off now. She has been married with my step dad for about 8 years.

Your mom and dad didnt work out as a married couple. One thing for sure, your mom will always be your mom, and your dad will always be your dad. Love them both and try to live your life with the experience that you have. I would suggest you dont try to figure it out in order to choose sides since you will only delay your own maturity and joy in life. Love them both despite their feelings for each other, and set your sites on what you want to achieve for yourself.

sorry for what you have had to go through. i am also from a divorced family. i was 11 at the time and didnt really know how to process it. my parents had enough of their own problems to bother with me so i was left in the dark.

now looking back i have more of an understanding of why things happened. some things could not be prevented. i never ever thought id be in the same situation. potentially going through a divorce myself. i dont have a choice in what my husband choses to do. all i can do is accept it and move on.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
