Divorce and Stepfamilies: Breaking Apart, Coming Together My parents first split up when I was about 5 to 6 years old. Then they got back together. I was so happy. Then we moved 4 times and then my dad was on the roof Christmas Eve trying to fix it. Well, he fell off. He lived but not long after they really got divorced. Then only a month later my mom got remarried. So I know what it is like because they are still divorced, it's been 2 years since then. I still miss him, because he only picks us up every month or so. But my advice to anyone whose parents told them they were getting a divorce is: don't panic. At first it seems horrible but sometimes it's the only thing that will help both of your parents. You will see a huge change in both of their feelings for life. They will be very much happier and have more freedom. --Laura Mae, 13
My parents aren't divorced yet, but my dad has already moved from the house to the guest house and then to a separate apartment. He was cheating on my mom. When she told me this, I felt sad, angry, and confused. But I talked to my teacher and she said it would get better and that she was always there for me and that if I needed more help I should talk to my guidance counselor. --Ashley, 12
I have a stepdad.
It is like he is not my stepfather however because he raised me ever
since I was 2. My mom and biological father divorced and my stepdad
raised me from then on!! He, my mom, sister, brother and I all have
fun and my stepdad cried when I first called him 'dad' at age 3 or 4.
So I know he really loves me as a blood son. I basically am! My favorite
cousin is KayAnna, my stepcousin who is as close as a blood cousin to
me!
