How many of you have divorced parents?
I want to see whether divorced parents drives people to a forum for alternative political views.
Bump this thread, don't just vote. Tell us how old you were when your parents divorced. Tell us how it affected your life.
RESPOND YOU KEKS
Healthy family masterrace here.
Yes, 12, insecure at first but in hindsight i realize it helped me mature quicker.
My parents are divorced i was raised "poor" grew up in a ghetto wich coddled me into my racism
My parents seriously should have divorced if any of them were normal. They somehow never did. They fight often like every week about some dumb shit but they still stick together.
My dad got married because he wanted children and my mom was a hopeless uneducated NEET who got kicked out and married the first man she met after that.
You should outlaw divorce desu.
my grandparents are married for 77 years.
there is a reason why they say till death do us part.
They never really liked eachother.
Yes, at 10. After my father left I didn't have any male presence in the house. I was really desperate for a strong male role model and began to resent women.
I have no idea why you think thst correlates with supporting trump.
parents divorced when I was 14
my mum went on a world cruise to spend dads money and dad shacked up with his new woman.
my 18 yo sister had to look after me and she was a sexual freak. lost my virginity so shit worked out.
Parents divorced when I was 21. Was already out of the house for some time so it didn't effect me as much as my siblings. Still I always looked at my parents as an example of a healthy adult relationship and that is quite different now.
They're both happier for it, even though they initially weren't.
My parents are still together. We don't really stick to a party, we're socially conservative though.
Who /messydivorce/ with /bigconsequences/ here?
Parents didn't divorce.
In my teenage years I often wished they had because the home environment was fairly hostile.
Later they changed jobs, which stopped them being stressed at each other all the time, and got comfy all over again.
It was pretty fucking great and visiting home is an absolute pleasure.
But I dunno maybe the hostile period fucked me up because I cannot into relationships. But I think that's more because I'm a vidya-addicted obnoxious Sup Forumstard than it is some deep-seated formative trauma.
Blame protestants
Uh. Are you staying to you fugged your sis m8?
Grntxt?
Same here
>she was a sexual freak. lost my virginity so shit worked out.
To who? Your sister?
I'm pretty sure majority of everyone in the western world have divorced parents, thus any correlation is unlikely to present itself if there was any.
My rents have been together 35 years now. They fight all the time but really do seem to love each other. Even if they didnt they'd still be together though, in their view every couple should stay together for their kids' sake unless one of them is being outright abusive or something.
>I want to see whether divorced parents drives people to a forum for alternative political views.
You think you're going to do that by making a post and a poll on this board? What's wrong with you eh? So very scientific!
No, and I have a very good relationship with my parents as well. They're liberals though.
about 5
It was extremely nasty, I didn't see enough of pater and I had a couple of older half-sisters hating on me for being my father's son. Funny thing they're also massive anti-racists, so it's fine to hate someone for their father but you can never criticise a different racial group.
My ex-girlfriend also had her parents divorce, she got abused by her stepfather and when we broke up she had a go at me for acting like him. Combined with the shit from my sisters...
>I want to see whether divorced parents drives people to a forum for alternative political views.
I was far-right anyway but it contributed.
>fugged sis
>rinse and repeat
>cry like a baby when she tells me no more
feels bad man
My parents got divorced a little after i was born then my mother matried when i was 11 and the guy had a step daughter whom i did a lot of soft core "playing" with
My parents divorced when I was about 5. They were constantly fighting and arguing after the divorce and put me and my siblings in the awkward position of picking sides.
It was a pretty awful way to grow up, neither parent was very responsible and they both acted very immature our entire childhood.
If I learned anything from the experience, it was how to lie.
Divorced when I was 9, raised by my mom and didnt see my dad until 16. I am 27 now and feels like not too long ago i just pulled myself out of the bullshit I was taught about men. shit fucked me up for years.
Nice try CTR. Everyone knows males with no father figure become numales, and females become rabid dyke feminists.
Go on.
Do people like Trump or Hill in Singapore?
How do you explain black democrats?
First divorce when I was 4, second 16 and now she's married again to a millionaire (I'm 19 now). Mind you every divorce was when the guy lost a lot of money. Her family side also had two divorces.
I guess I'm completely apathetic to family relations and love in general.
Most of the people i knew growing up had divorced parents. The couples who stayed together were an anomaly.
also; I find that people whose parents aren't divorced can be extremely complacent about social values. It doesn't affect the elite as much when those are eroded; as with 3rd-world colonisation, it's the commoners that suffer.
Mum divorced blood Dad when I was 1-2 years old. Mum married another guy who was my "Dad" until I was 10 when they told me he wasn't actually my real Dad. Hated him from the second they told me because he represented a lie. A lie that I pretended never hurt my feelings ever since.
About 9 years old
Mother moved to another country while I stayed with my dad n Colombia, and eventually moved in with her because of a better future
>Parents move to new town.
>Within one year they divorce.
>Town becomes a poverty ridden shithole throughout the years.
>Get a lot of bad experience with black and arab violence.
>End up on Sup Forums.
Fuck you
That sucks, do you still see your father? I think that's a major issue too
Same question as above to you
Interesting, do you think they will always stay together or will eventually divorce? My parents only divorced when I was 19 (6 years ago) but I knew it was coming from when I was maybe 6 years old.
Nice. My grandparents were married their whole lives until my grandad died. 43 years in total because my grandad died in his 60s from cancer (smoked too much)
I'm feeling those things now to be honest, I have done, steadily, the past few years (I'm 25, dad moved out when I was 18 but their marriage was bullshit my entire life)
>I have no idea why you think thst correlates with supporting trump.
Sure, no correlation at all is there? :^) (see pic)
Same here, westerners should understand that marrige is not all about love, sex and money. The couple especially women should endure all hardship and temptation, and think about the consequences of destroying a childs life with their divorce because they are not happy in a relationship, fucking stupid excuse, why did they have children when they do not want each other! My parents are quarelling every day for 7 years back then but they didnt divorce or annull their marriage and eventually unfucked their shit up.
Parents divorced when I was like 8, my mom wants nothing to do with my dad and even now after 20+ years she'll refuse to answer his calls and call me to ask what he wants.
At least I did something with my life, but if anything it fucked up my view on marriage more than niggers and Jews
m8, that's not a greentext. Did you skip Sup Forums and come str8 to Sup Forums?
How old were you?
Elaborate
>Sure, no correlation at all is there? :^) (see pic)
>make a thread for posters with divorced parents
>wow such correlation when those posters reply
kill yourself
>Do you still see your father
He now lives with my mother because he is a severe alcoholic and got in a work accident several years ago that basically handicapped him that on top of the extreme drinking and snorting his pain meds has led him to be..not brain dead but he is pretty damn permafried and i live on my own..and have cut contact with everyone in my family completely
It started when we both turnt 12 we would watch porn together while laying in her bed late at night she would occasionally jack me off and i fingerd her no sex though because i was too paranoid about her dad finding out looking back on it now i regret not pounding that puss desu
My parents should have divorced a long time ago. I really think my father and myself are legit autistics (asperger). My mother is obviously not emotionally connected with my father.
I wonder what my mother founded attractive about my father in their 20's.
Mom got divorced when I was around 8, Dad moved far away, mom remarried to a dickhead who treated me like a nuisance while she coddled me to the point that I became a pussy.
I got to stay with my dad for a week every year or so, and it was great until he remarried and I got a disgusting drugged up step mom and three bratty white trash step sisters.
After that I didn't want to go as often, and then when I was 21 he died and I instantly regretted not going more.
This is now a pedo thread.

My dad refuses to do house work because he hates it and think he is too "over class" to do it. He probably could divorce and get a maid but mom does everything already so he's fine with how everything is and probably don't wanna deal with having to divorce, get a maid etc.
My mom don't wanna divorce because she would have nowhere to go and no way of supporting herself. She hasn't worked a single day of her life and she's in her 50s.
Parents were married for 30 something years until my father died. While they loved each other, there was a lot of fighting between them. However, both handled it well and at worst would spend a few days away from one another to let the anger die down.
Both were also conservative, but on the lighter end, and neither tried to push politics on me. What they did always push was a hatred of the government and any larger power in general since my father was drafted for Vietnam and my mother came from a wealthy family who started poor and worked hard in physical labor to get their wealth.
When my father died, I did what a lot of teens do and swerved into liberal town but it wasn't long until I went back towards the center and later the right on many issues. What made me come around to my political side was a lot of learning from past failures, and realizing that the freedom I believed in was not what the left was supporting.

It's wincest you stupid fucking leaf.

theirs no grand story when you actually fuck your sister
just guilt and wet dreams and awkward xmas's
Parents have always been together in happy marriage I'm here cause I've been raised conservative by my father and like politics
You lost your virginity to your fucking sister?
That's good that they're both happier, in my case neither of my parents are happy (my dad pretends he is with money, but he's an insecure little faggot who's dependent on antidepressants)
Do you still have a good relationship with your dad or has it soured since they divorced?
That's dope that they're still together.
Well I dunno if my parents divorce was messy but they hated each other from when I was a young kid. Sometimes they would verbally argue, but a lot of the time they repressed it. Just didn't engage with it at all. They slept in separate bedrooms for many years before my dad finally left (just after I finished school and got a job on my gap year). He planned it for ages but didn't have the balls to do it earlier the little bitch.
>It was pretty fucking great and visiting home is an absolute pleasure.
To be honest, fuck you pham
>But I dunno maybe the hostile period fucked me up because I cannot into relationships. But I think that's more because I'm a vidya-addicted obnoxious Sup Forumstard than it is some deep-seated formative trauma.
Yeah I can't into relationships either, and I wouldn't be surprised if the hostile period affected you pham, it does with everyone. And you wouldn't be vidya addicted if your dad had grown a fucking pair and spent time with you teaching you how to be a fucking man (no offence to him)
Then consider it a poll of the Western world. Among my friends most are divorced but that's why I made friends with them in the first place - I used to be friends with all kids who had parents together before that.
I wanna know how prevalent divorce is these days.
>You lost your virginity to fucking your sister?
Fix'd
My parents never married. I've never met my dad. My mom was and is an awful parent.
Got some decent old fashioned values from my maternal grandparents, and I was redpilled about women at an early age due to seeing how awful of a person my mother is.
Take it from a child of a single mother - single mothers are fucking terrible at parenting.
I don't know how old I was but I do know my mom ran off with a Jew that eventually got arrested for ripping people off at his store.
Disgusting.
That's pretty awesome. My parents believed in stay together for the kids, until the MINUTE I finished school, then dad was out like a shot.
Which was really fucking stupid because it meant they had already resigned themselves to this fate about 10 years earlier. It would have probably been better for all of us if they had just split when me and my brother were 10 / 11 / 12
I mean sure it would have been painful and hard (I know that from my friends experiences, and from reading about the psychological effect that an absent father has on young boys - they call it "father hunger", psychological distress of boys, and it correlates with what my friends have said happened to them when they were 7 years old and their dads left, their feelings of anxiety, sleeping in the bath tub, feeling weird and wrong, etc)
But if they had divorced then my mum's plan was to move to the city, where me and my brother went to school - so we would have had fucking FRIENDS, unlike the fucking shitty place where we lived out in the middle of nowhere. During my teen years I cycled to the city all the time to try and make friends with a crowd that I tried to make myself a part of. I did hang out with them a lot, but I was never fully a member of the crew because I lived far away and I had to get a fucking ferry to get home, and the last ferry was 10pm, meaning I missed out on late nights unless I stayed at someone else's.
Anyway.
Mate I'm just interested you fuckstick
Nice. Is divorce rarer in Japan than in the West? If family values are good and strong there, then how come your young adults aren't getting married, or even having sex at all?
>hating on me for being my father's son
Me and my bro got that from my mum. We're bastards just for being men. Took me some serious therapy to get over that, no joke.
>My ex-girlfriend also had her parents divorce... she had a go at me for acting like him.
Women are cunts, that's how it is.
thanks Kemal
beat me too it
Fuck your sister again
Fuck her nice and good
It's Sup Forums, no one will wank about you and your sis. But about your guilt however, is arousing. Go on...
Mine have been married nearly forty years. Why do kids from divorced/selfish parents always want to be special snowflakes? Is it the same gene that means their parents couldn't form a stable family unit, which is something fucking cavemen could do?
Ha my parents were never married... still split though
she won't let me

its good to be a karma kid :D
This is common and exactly how marriage was a hundred years ago. It's why the "empty nest" is a problem for the wife and retirement a problem for the husband.
Stop watching Jewish romantic comedy films. Life isn't like that. Those married couples were loyal to each other. That's the number one thing: loyalty.
Yeah, initially I was sad/angry because I was still kind of young, couldn't into relationships and didn't really understand it. Mostly at my mom since she initiated the divorce, later at both of them since I felt my dad should have seen it coming and should have done something about it. It lasted about a year but I got over it and I still love them very much.
My dad is in a new relationship and seems to have more time for hobbies, trips etc. My mom is single but she started a business and that takes up all of her time. She's passionate about it though, and seems happy. I don't see them as much as I'd like (even in our mini country, traveling takes time and money) but we call each other a lot.
It sucks that your parents aren't happy. Most people eventually figure out a way though. In the end you have to realize they split up because splitting up was better than staying together. However bad it may seem, they're better off now.
Sorry to hear it man
No blood relation = good to go mon ami
Damn. That sucks. What did he die of?
Why the fuck should he do housework if he was the breadwinner and his wife is gonna do it? That's what wives are for. I'd make my wife do that shit.
Don't mean to offend your mum, just saying, I fucking hate housework and especially if my wife didn't work I'd make that bitch clean everything
Your parents sound like awesome people
Tru dat on the political journey. I'm more authoritarian than you now though. People are stupid and don't know what's best for them. Social liberalism leads to faggotry, more divorces, etc. Needs to be stopped 2bh.
Kek
Well I'm fucking jealous of you 2bh
Indeed they are. Kids need both parents
Sorry to hear you've never met your dad
Interesting, were you raised by your dad then, and if so how was that?
>Why do kids from divorced/selfish parents always want to be special snowflakes?
I resisted it for a long time, I never wanted to be "that guy that whinges about his parents"
But now, fuck you. I KNOW how much bullshit I've endured compared to the kids at school who had happy bliss. Yeah sure I didn't endure THE MOST shit, in fact my childhood was very good from a financial security point of view, but fuck you all the same, the emotional fallout is something kids with married parents don't know about so go fuck yourself.
>Is it the same gene that means their parents couldn't form a stable family unit, which is something fucking cavemen could do?
I think it's more nurture than nature. My dad's parents divorced and that caused him to resign himself to the idea that he was "fucked up" (he probably should have just grown balls and made it work though, like my mum's father did)
Damn. Pretty similar then I guess.
Do it anyway, she loves it really, she just wants you to pin her down and fuck her

Not divorced.
My mom is a Nip.
Dad is a white boomer, so he's pretty much anti-Church, anti-Catholics. But he fucking hates Jews more than anyone else. And he's anti-left in general. A funny mix I'd say.
Mom got redpilled hard when she arrived here with my dad. She hates Mudslimes more than anything. Hates communism with a passion. And although she's not Christian, she's pro-Church and urges me to go to church because she loves "old" Europe too much to let it slip away. Which I do.
The Asian "side" of me taught me that liberals love sucking niggers and sandniggers' dick. My mom never got any special treatment, and people actually try to scare her like "I'm calling the cops" when she's a little pissed in public places (some people wouldn't serve her because she doesn't speak French very well), because they think all Asians are submissive and shut the hell up. My mom isn't like that. She doesn't want any special treatment because of her race, but she can clearly see that there's something fishy between liberals and mudslimes.
So since I was a kid I was pretty much redpilled about niggers and sandniggers.
Yes, but it was when I was like 17 so I didn't really care. My sister took it harder, and she's liberal as fuck , so that's pretty muich opposite of what you are trying to prove.
My parent are in their mid 60s and still together, both first marriage. They go on holiday every month together. Breddy uncommon apparently.
>Do people like Trump or Hill in Singapore?
Singapore's a one-party-state and you don't quite get jailed but you do get sued into oblivion for defamation if you have a political opinion the ruling party considers objectionable. So it's been conditioned into all of the population not to talk about anything political, even foreign stuff.
Consequently the people here are very enthusiastic about not thinking about Trump or Hill at all.
From a 1984 perspective the crimestop is quite active.
Mine weren't divorced but they probably should have been since they fought every day and occasionally had fights to the point where I had to intervene.
>They go on holiday every month together.
Are your parents millionaires?

In assets yes.
>People are stupid and don't know what's best for them.
I don't disagree, but I've concluded I'd rather let humanity enjoy freedom and ruin itself than have a successful existence without it.
Nice 2bh
You played things well
True. My grandparents were loyal to each other in retirement - in fact they fucking loved their retirement, had a load of fun until my grandpa died. They were going off on holidays literally all the time. I guess it's because my grandad, being a fucking alpha, had built up some pretty good pensions (he was in the navy, and had been a teacher, and was eventually a university lecturer where he became head of department, and I think he had pensions from all three)
My grandparents' life was so fucking awesome, I wish I could emulate them. They worked fucking hard, of course they did, but they enjoyed the fruits of their labours. They bought a couple of nice big houses, had three kids, and enjoyed their retirement. They were a happily married couple (with squabbles) their whole lives.
Why the fuck does the world need feminism when my grandmother had a happy, yes sometimes difficult, but very fulfilled life, while my mother has had the most miserable fucking life in existence because feminism told women they could "have it all" while ignoring the fundamental fucking truths of the biology of men and women?
My parents have been married for 40 years
I AM a divorced parent but my parents weren't divorced. My political views caused my divorce bc she couldn't handle my patriotism and bc I cheated on her
>and bc I cheated on her
Why? You should have dumped and found somebody else afterwards.
I assume you are this guy: - just cos of the different IDs, and also the fact you just said "I was still kind of young" but in the first post you said 21, but I guess 21 isn't massively old, and I was still very immature at 21 (still am now)
Good to hear your parents both seem to be pretty productive and positive
>It sucks that your parents aren't happy. Most people eventually figure out a way though.
To be honest I doubt it, one thing that I have been trying to talk to my dad about is antidepressants. I really should just say to him up-front, "dad will you ever come off the fucking antidepressants". Basically, they make him emotionally inaccessible. I know this because I was on antidepressants for about 9 months. I know what they do to your mind. They close off negative emotions. Which means you aren't honest with yourself, or with anyone else. You're just a fucking robot in some ways. They're only designed to get you through rough patches, and my dad's been on them 20 years constantly. Because he's a fucking coward.
So yeah, he lives his lonely shitty life in his lonely apartment, surrounded by pointless materialistic crap he's bought himself, alone in front of the TV every single night, feeling a bit lonely, but never having that feeling truly affect him because the happy pills are there. As I say, I know how happy pills feel (the exact one he's on - Prozac). He's a faggot to be honest.
And my mum, I guess she might be happy if I finally get off my ass and do something with my life, but I can't be fucked right now 2bh. She's completely against the idea of new relationships and i don't think that will ever happen. My dad does see women but because he's emotionally stunted he just sees them for a few months then dumps them for someone else. Fucking cunt.
What caused your parents divorce? Anybody here have a man child father
explain
Nope, my family is awesome.
My girlfriend's family is great too.
Feels good to be born into a family of Christian conservatives, thanks Texas!
I don't have divorced parents, however I fear there may be bias in your poll (I'm responding before checking it, how retarded right?).
Due to the direct inquiry and picture, it may draw in people with divorce experience while nondivorce related folks would skip right over it, as I myself was about to do.
>My political views caused my divorce bc she couldn't handle my patriotism and bc I cheated on her
lol. "she couldnt handle my patriotism" i was thinking, how fucking delusional is this cuck, but then i kept reading
Parents divorced when I was 2. Haven't spoken to my father since I was 7.
Grew up in East London, surrounded by niggers and paki's and I am intolerant of them.
No divorce... not even my uncles or aunts etc. Divorce is for proles, IMO.
Right of center, though I use to be left of center. I find that behind every jezebel reader or alt righter is a manly mother and a cucked, or absent father.
So your hypothesis is now a theory, imo.
Took money from my mother gambeld on shares/investments and I mean gambling not investing, cheated on her also playing upon her gullibility
Mine have been happily married for 27 years.
Hopefully I can find a girl to grow old with.
Nuclear family master race reporting.
That's fucking shit. That's way worse than my parents who just plain didn't get along.
How do you act with your mum and dad now? Do you like your dad and despise your mum? I would.
>because they think all Asians are submissive and shut the hell up
I think the opposite. Asian women especially get catty as FUCK when you get in their face. Whites are probably the submissive cucks these days (cucked by leftism that enforces shitskin migration on their countries and they just take it like cucks)
Anyway your parents sound cool, do they get on well and stuff? Do you reckon they'll stay married their whole lives?
I was 18 when my dad left and at the time I told myself "I don't care because they've always hated each other so this literally makes no difference"
But now it does make a difference because my dad's an arrogant cunt who spends money on himself and doesn't give a fuck about his sons
I used to have a good relationship with him but I don't anymore. Also it's hard to get on with my mum too.
The divorce really really fucked our family (but it's issues that were festering our entire lives, it was always coming for like 15 years at the very least). But yeah, my bro is depressed but can't admit that family problems are why he's depressed because he's a cuck bluepilled faggot (well he's alright really but yeah he's too fucking bluepilled)
>My sister took it harder, and she's liberal as fuck , so that's pretty muich opposite of what you are trying to prove.
I was mainly just wondering how many people here have divorced parents.
That's pretty fucking cool, have they always got on well? Will they stay married for their whole lives do you think?
That sucks. Is their relationship better now that you're an adult?
I'm just a loser NEET Britfag sitting in my bedroom, but whatever
Fair. What about shitskins? To me that alone is a reason to vote for authoritarian parties 2bh
No shit. So, don't get divorced then. Why should society gear itself around the sort of proles who feel the need to go off and "find themselves" after they've already started a family?
Parents divorced when I was around 18. Mostly it was annoying living in two places. Felt bad for thinking that, but it was.
Parents are still together. Grandparents were together over 50 years (until G-pa died. Oh no!)
My mum and step father divorced. I didn't really care desu. Guy was a drunk and an unemployed loser. He used to beat me all the time. So did my mother. But he beat her too.
I kicked his ass once when I was 15 because he was hitting my mum. And I had to run away from home. Spent about a year on the street. Never went back. They divorced after I was gone. He has nothing to do with my half brothers and sister.
Didn't think it effected me that bad. But 20 years later I'm an alcoholic and twice divorced myself. I didn't have a good time growing up and it's made me very introverted and untrusting. I'm estranged from my entire family. Whole thing was just toxic bullshit and I'm glad they're out of my life. I get a bit lonely sometimes on my birthday or xmas but I've got booze and shitposting to keep me company.
0 divorce in my close family, and only one in my wife's family (one of her aunts).
Feels good
Nope. My parents, grandparents, and their siblings are all in stable, long-lasting marriages. Also redpilled as all fuck.
>Divorced when i was a young kid
>Both alcoholics
>Agressive and abusive
>Violent towards me
>Constant stress and fights
>And unsupporting
Up until i was 21, i got away from them
Now as a 24 i look like i'm 40
Well atleast i wasn't hungry so there was that
On political standpoints i'm pretty neutral, although i criticize the current situation on (im)migrants
Go fuck yourself
Nice. Good to hear it 2bh.
Moron
My parents hated each other ever since I remember. At least, their marriage was already over (effectively - they didn't actually separate until I was 18) by the time of my earliest memories.
From photos and what I've heard from them (and from my grandparents), I think my mum and dad had a better relationship before the kids came along (they were married a full 7 years, which is actually a fucking long time, before my bro was born. I was 2 years later)
Maybe the kids caused my dad to get jealous at the attention given to his kids. Wouldn't be surprised because he's a weak egocentric cunt
I'm perhaps being fair, he's a good guy in many ways, he's been a very hard worker throughout his life. Just wish he wasn't so insecure which is why I wish he would come off his antidepressants so he can actually face reality, face emotions, face facts. Instead he's just a lonely man in his plush apartment, but the loneliness never really hits him properly and fully because of the happy pills... so he just watches TV every night, thinking that's keeping him happy. If he was a human with real emotions and not drugged on happy pills then he would feel the loneliness like a human being and then, I dunno, maybe make more of an effort with his sons. The cunt.
The reason he's insecure, by the way, is because his dad was a cunt to him (apparently). So he always felt inadequate, like he had to prove himself. That's why he takes the happy pills. So he doesn't have to face facts. But yeah he worked very hard and has been quite successful (self-employed professional), which is how he now has the money to deck out his flat with pointless shit (my mum is also a professional but makes less than half of what he does, I would think)
