kids with divorced parents around the holidays

[SoothingBelle]

I wished my parents could be in the same room with each other for anything. Growing up with your parents bad mouthing each other really messes up your self esteem as a child. You go internally “But you made me… do you guys hate me too?” 😢

“you know what would be awesome?”
-seeing them hugging near the tree while we spend time together, without having to text to the other with “merry christmas!” or not having crisis because you miss one of your parent.

I’d rather have both of my parents and sides of the family all together on christmas day, family is better than twice the presents or more christmas joy.

people think having divorced parents is amazing bc for example you get: 2 christmases, 2, birthdays, 2 easters, etc. but they don’t focus on the negative things that happen all. the. time.

News. Flash we don’t care about the presents we just want our parents to get along and love each other.[ i have divorced parents]

[Dougherty-mn]

Compared to most divorce stories I’ve heard I have it fairly well, my parents get me nice things and I get to go on a lot of trips with my dad but I would give every single present and trip I have ever received/gone on for my parents to have never divorced and still love each other:(

I find it so stupid when people say this, i actually had someone ask me which parent got mad at the other first

[LifefAmelia]

My parents fight on Christmas :(

It was Christmas night and my mom accidentally popped a ballon bc we had a party. My dad knew I’m afraid of loud noises. So he hit my mom and got a bruise. I asked if everyone was okay.. My dad tried to hide my mother. I hate my childhood.

I wish I could see my dad when I wanted to literally happened to me an hour ago

[Sophie-editz]

I don’t even get to holidays like birthday or Christmas just one I go with my mum for Christmas but still see my dad for like 1 hour Christmas morning Easter is with my dad and birthday with my mum

My parents are divorced. Now I have anxiety. I’ll explain..
So basically when my parents started fighting I got so stressed out until they confirmed their divorce I was devastated. I missed the person I wasn’t with. And here’s my anxiety..
I worried about the parent I wasn’t with when they didn’t answer my texts or anything and was s always worried and though they were hurt or dead. I don’t know how much I stress out about this till this day. Like, “wanna have a sleepover?” “No, sorry, I’m at my moms.” It’s so tough when you only see one parent half of a day for a holiday. I see people at the end of school hug their mom AND dad, but I only see one at a time. The teachers have to pull me and ask me who I’m with so they can give me specific report cards. I have to make two of everything. I’m stressed no matter what. When I think about divorce of my parents I just grab my scalp and hold in my scream. So much furniture had to be moved to my moms because it was hers. I’m always stressed about the packing and what to not and to bring. I wish I can say mom and dad in the same room…but I have to say it once in different houses.

[Whattheslip]

Uhhhh- half right, it's awesome but like I only kinda want them to love each other because my mom has the most god awful boyfriend

[Charlottesversion.u]

I honestly feel so bad for other people who have parents who are divorced but they bad mouth each other. I feel lucky that my parents are still friends, even after they got divorced.

[Seungminsver]

Bro😢 sure it’s awesome but like.. having to choose which house to sleep at and then going to the others after. Not to mention going to ALL of each side of the family’s houses including step parents and parents. It sucks.

[Lizza_Fellow]

My parents are divorced but broke so we spend christmas together Yeah

[crazy_Art_]

FOR REAL Pov:they got a divorce _1hour ago

[sandstormthedragon]

This happens every time I tell someone k have divorced parents 💀

[AQroo]

I wished my parents wasn’t divorced my mom would never let me visit him because “I’m to young” I’m in the USA and he lives in Poland and I’d have to deal with fights, caring for my little step brother, cooking, loneliness, etc
