divorce...


Question Posted Sunday August 29 2004, 4:45 pm

ok my dad and stepmom are getting divorced. i dont live with them, so it shouldn't bother me as much as it does, and i dont know it's just a big problem. i'm afraid i'll never see my stepmom again once they get divorced, and i don't want that to happen. I got really close to her and i love her, she's almost like a sister to me. i know i cant' stop them from getting divorced, but how can i get through this and still be happy and have a good outlook on things? i'm normally an optomistic person, and i want to stay that way. i don't expect never to be sad, but what are some ways to deal with this? i went through a divorce a few years ago with my real parents, but i dont know how to get through it again. thanks in advance to everyone who helps. love ya!

Just tell her that you really want to stay in touch after they're divorced. You can still did whatever you did together before. As far as getting through the divorce, I really don't know, because my parents are together, but just remember that they're going to be happier and that you'll still get to see them both.

I am so sorry hun. Divorces are so awful. My parents have gone through a divorce too. I would tell your stepmom that you would still like to hangout and be close because you don't want to lose that special relationship with her. Sit down with her and talk with her and tell her how much she means to you and how you would like to coninue a realtionship with her.
~Hope I was of help~
If you ever need anything I would be happy to help!!

I would talk to your stepmom and tell her that after the divorce you still want to stay in touch, weather it be through e-mail, telephone, whatever, it would definatly be better than nothing. If your lucky, you might even get to see her every once in a while, or even on a regular basis.

yowch..once is enough i bet..but TWO times? Well..the bright side is you have some experience in dealing with this. Lots of kids all over the world have to deal with it for the first time and they are probably lost. I would talk to your stepmom. If shes so much like a sister to you..im sure she`ll want to keep in touch and spend time with you also. Just because they are getting divorced, dosnt mean your step mom, whos very close to you, is going to shut you out of her life. Im sure when you talk to her she`ll be very pleased to hear you want to keep in touch and spend time. Im equally sure that she`ll feel the same way.Best of luck :)

ok hun ur right u can't avoid it.. the best thing you can do is sit down with ur step mom and tell her how much you care about her and tell her that you know she's going through a lot but ur going through a lot too and tell her you still want to keep in touch with her and see her a lot.. maybe the three of you should sit down and talk about the issues and talk about everyone being comfortable with you being in touch with ur step mom.. i think that could really help..hope i helped
