My parents' relationship started losing the plot when I was around 12; they finally split when I 16. I didn't feel like there anyone I could talk to about whilst it was all happening during those 4 years, and in the aftermath, so I kept it all bottled in. Fucked me up proper, both as a teenager and as an adult.

- did you tell them? when I asked both mine, they said, they still loved each other, just that they couldn't hack it anymore..GeorgesIV
- Well, it was clear my parents actually didn't love each other anymore, so that made asking them pointless.Continuity

mine just stopped living together but remained married till I was in my teens, then my dad got remarried,
still they remained in good terms and I guess that helped us not feeling the divorce like the cases I see on "reality TV"

So my mom cracked the news that she and my stepdad are on the path to divorce after 20 years. Stepdad (who I haven't talked to since labor day) says he wants kids and id leaving my mom.
Man, I remember my mom and dad splitting when I was a kid and how damaging that was to me, but this time I just feel for my mom. It's a shitty thing no matter which way you look at it. Hopefully it doesn't get ugly.
