Question Posted Tuesday August 10 2004, 10:46 pm

My parents gots divorced 2 years ago but they don't hate eachother or anything. Both of them are dating. My mom has been with this guy for about 6 months and my dad is kind of courting some lady. They were just talking of the phone and my mom called and asked for my dad so I told him she was on the phone. He said tell her I'll call her later. I told my mom he was busy and she said, 'no he just doesn't want to talk to me, thats alright' It makes me feel uneasy when they have a fight or disagreement. Any ideos on what it could be about?

Sure. It's about the fact that even adults get frustrations, broken hearts, and experience jealousy. Your parents made a tough decision to get divorced, and it's probably equally tough for you to understand.

They've spent more of their adult lives living together than living separately, and it's going to take everyone time to adjust to the new situation. It sounds like your mother was just upset your father wasn't able to speak with her - she's been used to a relationship where SHE came first, and even if she's happier divorced it can be hard for her to accept that your dad is with someone else.

If they are ever putting you in the middle, or saying bad things about the other parent, then you should sit down and let them know you feel. You love both of them, and you are a real person, not just a pawn in their games.

If you only hear occasional comments, like your mother saying she knows your father doesn't want to talk to her, then know these will probably slow down over time. Everyone has disagreements with each other; it's impossible to escape from.

well it's your parents...you have a ton of emotions about them. Why did they get a divorce? was it your mom or dad that wanted to get it? Talk to you parents tell them what your feelings are on the whole situation...they will understand and help you out
