gotta respect them, they knew their target audience was "troubled" teens and they really helped a lot of those hurting kids with this one.

[@joycevitecoskisilva]

I was one of them.

[@VannahCakesYo]

@@joycevitecoskisilva luckily my parents split when i was super young, like 3 years old. i had to witness the night one of my friends/neighbors parents decided to get divorced when we were like 12 and that shit was so sad and awkward for me to experience i had to have my mom come pick me up bc they were all crying and the dad dipped out😭

Facts

[@babyhandgrenade4004]

That's for sure. I think that this is the only blink-182 song that has ever brought me to tears. I grew up in a household that was chaotic and very much like what they're describing. I never thought I would be on the other side of that. I never wanted that for my children. My daughter's father decided he does not want to be involved but we're doing fine without him. She's about 10 weeks old now and she is the fattest and cutest little baby I have ever seen. Those cheeks, I just want to eat them lol. Sometimes I feel bad for him because he's missing out but then I remember that he's keeping himself away. This song is helping me cope with this whole thing. It's not about us, I didn't want him anymore. I left him before I found out I was pregnant. I gave him the chance to be in his daughter's life. I told him if he wanted to be, I was not going to stop him at all. Like we wouldn't even have to go through the courts, I wouldn't care. He has chosen his path which is to continue on like nothing happened.something is wrong with him. I really think he's either a narcissist or a sociopath or a little bit of both. Anyway, that's not a digit him, that is really the truth. I found out that he goes through life using whoever will let him. I'm just so glad that music like this exists to help those of us who need the help. I actually read somewhere that people that listen to rock music are more emotionally well-adjusted. This is because it deals with the things in life that aren't so pleasant. IE this song.

[@blueline15]

I was 14 when this song came out. My parents were fighting. They finally divorced 3 years later. As a confused teenager, this song made the world feel a bit more normal. Now 35 and happily married. I hope Blink-182 realizes the comfort and outlet their songs provided everyone around my age. This song still gives me goosebumps.

As a growing guitar player in a broken home , this song struck a chord with me when it released. I covered it in our garage band during a fair, and now 20 years later I'm still singing and playing it in my kitchen. My wife and I have two beautiful boys, and we've been married 14 years. This song is the way I felt back then, and my wife and I have made it our mission to not repeat the sins of my parents. We are staying together for each other, and my kids will never feel this way.

Both my parents got married three different times. This was my song when I was a kid. Now, two kids in and nine years strong, I'm still with my wife. We fight. We argue. We stay together for each other. We stay together for the kids. Relationships are hard work, and people are lazy.

[@chadnelson12]

The one thing I have learned from both my parents is that people comstantly change. My parents have been divorced for 20 years and i'm only 22. I guess you could say that ai'm lucky becauase i don't remember them ever being together. I still see both of them on a regular basis and I love both of them with all my heart. They have sacrificed so much for me and I'll never be able to repay them. The biggest thing they have ever taught me is how tough it is to work on a relationship. I've seen both sides. My mom has been with several different partners and my dad has been with my step mom for 19 years. I've seen and heard every fight as well as the love they give. I don't think it as simple as people make it out to be. My ex step dad for instance was a one of the nicest and most generous people I know, but there was another side to him that wasn't so nice. He had a rough childhood (He was beaten with chains) and sometimes a different side of him cane out. Ir's funny because he inspiredbi me to persue a career in engineering, but I've seen sides of him that no kid should see. I guess my point is this, it is not as black and white as people make it out to be. I have dealt with stuff that no kid should have to, but it also made me who I am today. You just have to try and make the most out of your situation. Nobody's life is perfect, but the important thing is to do the best you can with what your given.

[@bobmcneil100]

I'm struggling with my mom and dad right now :/ they divorced before I was born but its a constant custody battle. I lived with my mom for 13 years, then my dad took me for 2 years, now I'm back with my mom :/ I relate to this song.

[@jasonburds7529]

[@obiyeetkenobi5174]

David Hudson the point of the song is saying its selfish and destructive to divorceinstead of. working things out, marriage is just a game of forgiveness and how much your spouse can be forgiven by you for their mistakes, its basically "how much shit can you take?" For the first 5-10 years

I was in fighting with my wife last week and suddenly my Spotify play this song. For now on, we promise to listen this song every time we get fights. To remember that our ego will be impacted to our children in the future. The key in the marriage is not about winning the fight but to apologize even if we are not fault.

Apologizing every time doesn't help either. Both sides need to be willing to look at their faults and if one side is always battling and the other is always apologizing the marriage is doomed.

[@babyhandgrenade4004]

I'm glad to hear that. Something else that may help you guys. It sounds stupid because I heard it on that show How I met your mother. A couple agreed that whenever they're fights would get too heated, they would say pause and come back to it later. I hope that helps. Personally, I'm listening to this tonight because my daughter's father decided he did not want to be involved. He's mad at me for escaping his control. She's almost a month old and we're doing fine without him. I honestly feel like you did me a favor by staying away. I told him either step up now or I'm not going to tolerate you popping in and out of her life whenever it's convenient for you. I'm not going to let him do that to my daughter. My dad wasn't around because of my mom keeping him away from court orders and stuff. It's not that he didn't want to be around, it's that she prevented him from doing so, legally. Am I angry at him? Sure because our daughter doesn't deserve this but like I said, we'll be better off without him.

[@babyhandgrenade4004]

​@@ariskusuma6578I agree with this 100%. Cheating is the one thing I can't come back from anymore. I've started saying, I give somebody one chance to be training and then when they do, that's it. They're gone.

My parents separated when I was really really little so I don't remember them ever being together. For years there was fighting, yelling, throwing, crying, etc.. and it never truly got better until I was nine or ten. A broken family is one of the hardest thing to deal with. I can relate to this song.

[@jamaican234]

Hailey Buchanan Happened to me when i was about 10(parents had been together for almost 20 years), my father drove my mother out. She wanted custody but he took us so he didn't have to pay support. That lead to her being so ashamed to have us over in her new apartment one she left cause she couldn't feed us that she told she was busy; this happened until we stopped trying. My father was never around either and i lived in an isolated country in the gulf. I grew up alone and disconnected; I feel you, Hailey Buchanan.

[@420Flaysit]

My parents split When I was 9 months old and I have no memories of them ever being together. My Father is in California and my Mother lives in Virginia. I currently live with my mom. The first time I heard of them actually fighting was from my father up until then i thought it was normal for the parents to be split. When i was 8 years old he started talking about her and what a bitch she was and how I should come live with him and one story he told me (Which is true) was that when they were about to split she slammed her own hand into a door, called the cops on him and told the cops that he did it. The only thing that kept my father out of jail was my big sister who told them that he didn't do it. Every summer and winter break from school I fly to California and stay with him. During this period he tells me stories of what it was like living with that "bitch" When I get home it's not as bad. My mom never really talks about my father. At home i have a stepdad who is pretty nice to me and treats me better than I think a stepdad should. But I feel bad for him because my mother is always on his case because he works long hours and she thinks he's cheating on her. Currently in California with dad listening about how mom is a "bitch" and I don't what is real and what he is making up to try and convince me to live with him. Many times (and I know this isn't a problem for most kids) but many times a year when i visit him he tries to give me wayyyy too much money like he once handed me 400$ for doing nothing, and I just feel uncomfortable accepting that money but it's rude to decline it -sincerely confused (I made a funny xD) get it like sincerely confused actually confused which is true? anyway I'm terrible at jokes ahaha

Yea, because now I'm smart enough to realize that these guys couldn't even be in the same room together without fighting - they couldn't even become wealthy together happily. So ripping normal people for their marriages dissolving feels a little... hypocritical. Despite popular empty platitudes, a kid's peace of mind isn't worth 2 people's happiness. Imagine having to live and deal with someone you absolutely hate. Blink couldn't do it either, right? Either for their group or their own marriages. And I doubt they had 1/10th the struggles of "normal" people. For the record, I love blink 182 and this song is great, it goes hard and I think it was an important song for them.

The symbolism in this video is haunting, the kids in the video are standing in a broken home that keeps constantly getting wrecked. They star off as kids breaking stuff and acting out, as the video progresses they get older and older but still stand in the broken home, symbolizing them getting older but the scars and the broken home still remain looming over them because no amount of anything can fix those scars, and I can relate so much to that. This song never fails to make me emotional.

No one is sure if Tom quit or if they kicked him out, the guys claim his agent just told them "Tom.Is.Out" and Tom claims he learned he had been kicked out via the press. But the fact is, it is very evident Tom was being a douche to his supposed best friends, included one who he claimed was like a brother.

One of the most timeless and iconic songs ever made. Resonates to the core, speaks volumes about marriages. But even more so, it speaks volumes about the children involved in that said broken marriage. I wish everybody reading this, after listening to this song for 5 years now, to know that they're going to be okay. I know many won't care about what I have to say, but I mean it. It'll be alright. Stay strong to the kids out there.

[@babyhandgrenade4004]

It meant something to me. I grew up in a house full of chaos. My daughter's father has decided he doesn't want to be involved but we're doing okay. I honestly think he's a narcissist and I'm glad that he's not going to be around because he did us both a favor. She's almost a month old and I know she'll be better off without him in her life. So many people say, it's a shame that she won't have her father in her life. No, it really isn't. He would do her more harm than good by being in her life. I left him because he was a terrible partner and cheated on me constantly and I was just tired of it. He's mad at me for escaping his control so he thinks he's punishing me but really he's punishing his daughter. Once again he's shown me the kind of person he is and as I said, we'll be better off without him. Thank you for this.

To all the kids coming here to find solace while their families are falling apart... It's not your fault and you're not alone. Find someone you can talk to about it. Seriously. Do not let embarrassment and shame isolate yourself. It's easy to cling to a song because it echos your pain. That's okay, music is therapy. But there are other forms of therapy and outlets to consider. I was stubborn and waited too long to get help. I thought the memories would fade and life would get better on its own. Trauma will not go away by ignoring it. Don't hold it in. Someone will listen, even if they can't fully relate. I wish someone told me that at when I was a teenager. I'm in my 30s now and still dealing with it.

I guess I'm lucky that my parents are going on 22 years now, but I just don't feel lucky.

Same. Tom DeLong puts it in a way that strongly resonates with me

[@luke_cohen1]

@@keirstinfairclothpetersen3874 It shows that divorce, while in some cases necessary, puts a lot of the burden on the kids. You don't get rid of the actual issues, you just kick the can down the road and tell the kid to deal with a broken home, shared custody, and tons of mental trauma (not to mention the kid's usually 7-10 years old). Relationships are a lot of work and issues will pop up. However, once you're married with kids, you need to work through them and figure out a way to make it work. Otherwise, your kid will have no idea what their doing when they get married themselves.

[@rockwhk]

By far it's one of the best songs of blink. On the other hand, i don't angry much with the message of this song. If both parents tried to fix the relationship considering their child's needs and it didnt work out, then it would be better to be apart without neglecting the relationship with their kids. Staying for the kids living a lie as a family isn't a good choice

[@pablonogueira9527]

I think the title isn't meant to be taken literally. This song is told from a kid's perspective, "this house is haunted", "it makes no sense at all" are things a kid would think in a parents divorce situation, not understanding what's happening around. I think "stay together for the kids" is not an imperative sentence, but a description of what means to a kid for his parents to be "together". And I think that's implied in the line "and if it's what he wants, and what she wants, then why there's so much pain?", which I think is the kid showing the real meaning of the song: A son wants his parents to be happy, whatever they are married or not, because he'll be happy too. A divorced couple can raise a healthy kid if they had a friendly break up. But if they aren't happy (as you're saying) there's no point of being together.
