How to Deal with Parent's Divorce: My Experience + Tips | KATMAS 3

Hi there, I'm Kat! Today I wanted to talk about something a little more serious than I normally do - how to deal with your parent's divorce.

The point of this video is to help as many of you as possible. If you are going through something similar, I promise you it gets better. Here's my story :)

My parents split today. My dad had to move out. I am just broken, personally I understand. I'm 14 and I know life is unfair. But what really hurt me was seeing my little brother cry. It's just, sad. My father said he doesn't even want to live anymore and I'm really scared he might commit suicide. I am going to try and visit everyday so I can keep him company. Thank you for the advice.

[@humanofgoogle4443]

My dad just separated from my step mom and I loved her. He lost his job, lost his house, and had to move in with his mom. My dad wasn't happy, he never yelled, but he just got in an argument and ended it. I've never been threw anything this traumatic. I am so sorry for you, I 100% understand. Hope you feel better.

[@minelixquinonessoto2720]

kagan blade please do not commit suicide I’m sure there are people that care for you a lot. My parents got divorced when I was like 9 years old I was really sad but I took it okay cause I knew my parents still love me. I just want to say that you should stay positive cause thinks are gonna get better on some point.

[@insertcoolname3365]

@kagan blade I'm sorry that there is something that impacts your life enough for you to give up on it. There will always be a way to get past the things in your life no matter how hopeless you feel, and suicide is never the right answer. When you decide to commit suicide you're breaking the part of yourself that dreamed for a brighter future. Who knows what the plans are for your future. You could be someone in life that makes the difference. Keep fighting, if not for someone else, than for yourself. Please talk to someone so they can make a change for you towards the better. Don't give up.

my parents let me and my brother know that they were getting divorced today. It's really weird noticing all the little things that changed over the years. We used to eat dinner together every night. We have in a long while. My dad sleeps on the couch most nights now. My mom hangs out with her friends way more than she used to. I haven't seen them kiss in ages. I'm 17 and this year have been stressful enough. I want to start going to therapy and figure out my emotions. I really don't have an adult to turn to other than my parents. I don't have other family members that I can trust. I'm really sad right now.

I feel like everyone is scared to share their feelings. I sure feel that way. I just wanna cry and share every emotion I’ve felt towards this and tell my family everything but there’s just this imaginary brick wall holding me back. My brother, mom, and I fight so much now we had to see a therapist. That didn’t help. And my dad gets mad at me for the tiniest things now. I am asking that anybody who sees this message to pray for my family and anyone else going through this same thing. Thank you.

I have both memories of them fighting and of them being happy. I knew my parents weren't fully happy and I knew that the getting divorced part was coming but when it finally happened I didn't know how to cope with it. It's been more than a month now and I still can't get over the fact that they aren't together anymore. When someone asks me about it I just feel a knot in my throat that makes it hard for me to not mentally brake down. My parents constantly ask me if I'm okay and I always tell them that I'm fine because I don't know how to tell them that I am not.

[@jesussamurai8433]

Thanks for the video I'm actually 24 I got a nice job, good friends, gf, and I'm basically all grown up. The only reason I still live with my parents is because I genuinely loved their company, doing family activities like going to see every new horror movie, or going on vacations together, or even just shopping. But a few months ago things went wrong and out of nowhere they hit me with a divorce. (Long details) Even at this age it is extremely shocking. All the fun memories, daily routines, and just vibe of the house was so lively. My sister who is 20 also refused the opportunity to live in college campus because of how great our home life was. I know I'm supposed to be an adult/man and I'm guilty of being a mommas/daddies boy. I really miss the days when we would all go out to the theaters and they would still go out of their way to buy me my kids meal popcorn with my favorite candy. We had so many future plans that will no longer happen. And even after a while I still feel bitter about the way things ended. I've also realized maybe it's time for me to go off and start my own life.

[@sarahhumphreys3980]

Jesus Samurai I know exactly what you were going through. My dad left mum for another woman when I was 23 and married another woman about 6 years ago. please do not feel bad for feeling the way you do. You are grieving. Parental divorce is like a death. A death of the family unit is like no other. It hurts no matter what age you are. You are no less masculine for your feelings. Yes you will rebuild your life and there will be some ups and downs along the way but be kind to yourself in the process. Take it one day at a time. Can you talk to friends or a councellor? Don't let your parents divorce take over your life. Look after yourself and your sister. You got this. 🙂🙂

This wasn't the dad I knew why would he do that my mom was pretty and her body was good and they loved each other as far as i know, I was filled with emotion. Well now I'm living with my Dad, stepmother, and stepbrother, I had to leave me and mom were living in a poor country and dad was in the US, I didn't want to go, but my mom say go because that the only opportunity I could get and if I keep with my study I could help my family, so I decided OK and maybe that would help me understand dad and why in the world did he do that for, I had to go to a foreign country, foreign language, and a new family, it was hard and it's still hard, it's been 2 years and he still hurt, I decided to write this because I'm out with my dad and kind of new family and they laughing and talking and my mom is alone struggling by itself, well you might be wondering why my mother is alone if she's that pretty well she's a servant of god and she don't believe in second marriage or having a boyfriend after divorce, I should stop writing now or I would write my life here after I came to USA, I just needed to put these words somewhere because I was filled with emotion and I couldn't talk to anyone I don't have any friends since I left my birth country, thing have been hard, but I'm hanging there, I know I just talk about a part of my life here, but just don't judge me please.

Accepting and embracing takes time. I appreciate your willingness to start the conversation. There is so much context for each person and that each child's circumstances are different. I haven't been able to find closure yet which I think has made it harder over the last 20 years.

My parents broke up when I was 7, I am 13 now. For a long time I pretended I was okay but today I was watching home videos and I had a breakdown. I don’t really remember what life before the divorce was like but I know I miss it. Thanks for making this, it’s nice to know there are others out there dealing with the same thing I am

[@StarBurst-yd4wo]

Thank you so much. It feels great to know I'm not alone in this situation. Unlike a lot of people on the comment section, I wasn't told. I figured it out after my parents had an argument, after which my told me she might want a divorce.I then had an arguement with my mum and I was so angry so I went to tell my dad. We talked and he said it's stressful because he doesn't know if he should move out now or after Christmas.It hit me at that point. I had been praying that it'll all be good in the end and they'll make up. I sobbed so much that even my inhaler didn't help me when I felt short of breath and I ended up throwing up. Wasn't a pleasant experience but I think it had to happen. Thank you so much again for sharing something so personal, I'm sure I'm not the only one you have helped.

[@jessieclouds]

I got the chills when you said you get scared when you hear fighting and arguing as you got older. I AM THE SAME!! I get anxiety. And I know that’s where I picked it up from childhood. I haven’t talked to anyone about how I really felt and I’m 22. They got divorced when I was 11. I know I need help because I still haven’t got over it. But this video really helped thank you💛

[@tropicalcheese4001]

I am ten years old and my parents split about a year ago. I feel like as more time has passed I realize even more what happened and every time I think about their separation, tears still swell up in my eyes. I know god has a plan for me though and everything he does happens for a reason. Maybe this happened to teach me to deal with struggle, or point out life can’t be perfect, or to teach me to be thankful with what I already have.i just wanna let everyone know that they matter what, God has a plan for everyone no matter how bad things may seem. Life has struggles and pain, but it also has happiness and joy. You are beautiful, and you matter.

[@acompletemessuwu262]

Thank you for this. I’m 14 and my parents separated this summer. I never thought it would happen, but it did. I was upset and angry at the time, however I seemed to start feeling better. I thought I was over it but my dad and my brother and I are moving out tomorrow into a new place where we’ll be staying every other week, and last night I was looking at old family photos from road trips and vacations and holidays and I just broke down.

[@latinasawntop]

My mum and dad broke up a few days ago and it’s been really hard for me and my sister, it’s just not gonna be the same. I’m planning on living with my mum but then I get all anxious about my dad living on his own, and my mum tells me “it’s okay cos you can see him whenever you want” it’s easy for a parent to say that when they are still your parents at the end of the day, they might not have feelings for each other but to you they are still mum and dad. It’s so difficult. This had happened before and I had stayed over my grandmas but they made up after a few days. But now they have officially broke up. It’s hard to deal with it because I love them both very much and it’s the fact I can’t be with them both at the same time. But it’s life I guess.

Knowing that I'm not the only one in this is a really nice feeling. I just don't know what gonna happen, it's very difficult to take in for pretty much anyone. Knowing that I'm not gonna walk up to my dad again, is one if my biggest fears. Theirs a lot of fighting and yelling in my life. I don't blame my parents, but it's a very very, hard thing to take in. I hope you all don't have you're parents divorce.

I just miss the days where he was here

[@kyriehagner9305]

My parents split up when I was five years old, I’m almost 13 now and I still remember when they told me. They sat me and my brother down and after they told us they asked if we are okay. I said I’m good but inside I was crying a lot. If I had seen this when I was five it would have helped a lot.

[@toruoikawa1153]

Omg same here. My parents told me when I was 4 and they explained to me what divorce is and I was sad. But their divorce wasn’t finalized until I was 5. Then I had to switch schools when I was 6 because my dad had to move out and both my parents wanted me to go to a school that was close to both my mom’s house and my dad’s house. My dad didn’t move too far from my mom’s house because they wanted to make drop offs easier for me and for them too. But I still went to a different school. I’m 15 and in 10th grade now and I honestly wouldn’t change a single thing because if my parents didn’t get divorced, then I wouldn’t have changed schools which means I wouldn’t have met my friends who I’m super close with now or my boyfriend who I’m really happy with because we all go to the same school. Pretty much the only thing that still bugs me is that I have to pack some bags of my stuff and drag it back and forth from my mom’s house to my dad’s house every week😂 But anyways, I really hope you’re doing well about it now.

[@sonohrina2012]

Thanks for your video. I guess I find it harder because in my case I’ve always seen my parents happy and so in love to me they’re braking up over something small cuz I’ll probably never hear the details but being 24 makes me feel like being an adult should allow me to help them fix things but at the same time I feel so helpless. I had an really bad struggle in my own marriage and we were able to overcome it so I feel the need to do all that I can to help them fix their relationship. They already file for divorce and I’m getting to see them for the holidays and I don’t know how to act in front of them if to yield from all my anger for them acting so immature most of the time or just keep trying to talk some sense into them.

My parents always fought but I took it for granted since it’s been happening since I was young. I’m 14, and if I knew this was happening, I would’ve liked to spend more time with them instead of shutting myself alone and being negligent about it. I wonder if they know how difficult it is for me to withstand this amount of grief rushing in all at once.

[@bobvincent2251]

I have always suspected my wife was cheating on me. We have been married for 12 years now and its been a smooth ride until last year when she changed and started seeing other men. A friend of mine linked me up with a great hacker ultimate Hack who helped me hack into her phone, I had complete access to her phone right on my device and I could monitor all her activities for the past 2 years and also have access to new notifications, her location, call logs, text messages and all. I was left with no other choice.I loved my wife so much and I just dont know why she chose to betray me, I have been a good husband and never for once cheated on her. I tracked her down to a hotel where I found her with another man . You can contact them at ultimatehack003 at gmail or Whatsapp [phone] or text and call them directly on the same number.They helped me get access into her phone without even touching her phone.I have enough evidence against my wife now and I am thinking of Filing for divorce. I want advice from men and other women on here, should I give her another chance because of our kids or file for divorce ? We have a 9 months old baby

[@mariosporoty4262]

I was in the same situation too I remember every single moment with my dad and I am so angry at myself about taking for granted and didn t appreciating anything however all this situation teached me that we should be grateful about every single thing we have and don t take anything for granted (even our parents being together)

[@durrrrburger]

my parents have been fighting on and off for about 2 years, I know that this was inevitable but it actually happening is heartbreaking and I literally can't stop crying. my dad hates my mom and calls her an abuser yet my mom is actually being really calm and nice and is genuinely helping me. I have to stay with my dad since he is disabled and needs help around the house but I really miss my mom.

[@sarahhumphreys3980]

Sending love and light to all those whose parents have divorced. It's a difficult thing to go through but you got this. Take things one day at a time and remember to talk about how you feel to someone you trust. The dark feelings you have will pass over time. It won't be easy and family life will be different now and yes that does hurt a lot. Try to find some happiness in things you enjoy doing. I know this is no substitute for what you are going through but try as you too deserve happiness. I say that because when I was going through it I was so angry all the time and it controlled me. When I was enjoying myself I felt I was in control of my life and that a weight was temporarily lifted from me. Please don't let your parents divorce define who you are. Stay strong 🙂🙂

They always used to fight all the time, even from my earliest memories. I’d always fake cry and swear to get their attention off of the fighting so they’d be mad at me instead of each other.

[@megamegapop12]

I'm 22 and my mom just informed me that she filed. My parents were either really good about not fighting in ear shot of me or my brain has done a decent job of erasing those memories. I don't have many memories of my childhood that I can recall offhand in general so I feel like I lean towards the latter. High school was insane how bad it was. I found it comforting to joke about after a while. My dad a month ago told me he was looking to come back home. How do you tell your dad not to get his hopes up about that? I knew full well the marriage should be over for at least a decade. I used to tell myself it was because I was bad in school so I was adding to all the stress, but now I realize that I was doing bad because I couldn't focus on anything productive. When you learn to escape from familial distress through video games and youtube you tend to want to do that as often as possible. I envy those of you with siblings who you can lean on. I have to walk through this alone. That has ultimately led to depression and anxiety having a stranglehold on me. I always thought I'd welcome this when it finally happened but it's not an easy thing to accept still. This is all over the place because I want to get my feelings out I'm sorry. I'm just so confused about what to do still.
