I was actually glad when my parents divorced as it meant I didn't have to listen to them having screaming matches with each other.

I often wondered why they got married in the first place as I can't remember them ever liking each other much.

In high school most of my mates had divorced parents, you were the odd one out if your parents were still together.

That tended to be my experience as well, our parents were also the first generation to enjoy the no fault divorce as well, which made things a lot easier.

I'm the only person in my group of friends whose parents aren't still together.
 
When you've been sick for a few days and feel the first glimpses of being better.

On a current high of promising to eat healthy and run 20km a day from now on.

Inb4 I go back to poisoning my body with KFC and am sick again within the fortnight.
 
I read in the papers today people are traveling from interstate get free stuff in this town/Melbourne. Only catch is you have to sleep out under the stars. :(

I bet you love the self serve checkouts, according to ACA and the like we're a nation of thieving bastards.

I shouldn't throw stones though as I'm one of them, I just wish ACA and the rest of the media would STFU about it so they don't crack down on it.

Oh I'm so sorry DG, that sucks. One of my family friends is going through the same thing (she's in her 20s) and finding it really really tough.

As someone with divorced parents I can honestly tell you that once all the ties are severed it gets much easier. Having him in the house has to add a whole layer of difficulty to the situation!
Thanks Mebby :) I have never seen my parents yell at each other, I thought they were content and looking forward to retirement together. As long as my mum ends up happy I'll manage.
 
Getting through a 730k round trip so rank jr could play footy.Only dumb move was letting jr and his mate play their music on the way up,3 hrs of Slim Dusty,Warumpi Band and Charley Pride with 2 clowns singing top note in the back.Thankfully they slept on the way home and order was restored.

You don't like your dad?
Never been close to him, he keeps to himself and he's never taken an interest in my life. Who took me to dance lessons and came to my recitals? Mum. Who went to my parent teacher interviews? Mum. Who spent her Saturday mornings watching me play footy? Mum. You get the picture. He provided for us financially, but wasn't much of a dad. Maybe if it was mum leaving him I'd have a bit more sympathy, but he's made no effort and is now leaving her single in her 60s.
 
DG if it makes you feel any better, my mum was totally blindsided by my dad wanting a divorce. She even organised marriage counselling appointments and he stood her up :(
She was obviously incredibly upset for a long time, but she has since repartnered and been with a wonderful fella for 10 years now. He makes her so happy and looks after her, and it makes me happy to see her so happy.

Yup, my Dad was exactly the same. I can identify ONE conversation we ever had (he picked me up from highpoint one of my casual jobs- actually asked me if I had any plans, what I wanted from life, etc)- in my life that didnt involve sport. Otherwise we didnt speak to each other, ever. I wished my uncle was my dad, he's awesome just the opposite of my dad, so easy going.
