You are both making shit up. Knock it off.[/quote]

I felt total relief that it was over. Nobody wants to walk on egg shells around their own parents. I would so nervous about approaching my dad about anything because he was always so pissed off. I would actually rehearse what I was going to say to him in case he started getting angry. I would also judge when to write him a note vs. talking to him. So yes, I was very relieved when he moved out. It took him about 6 months to calm down after he left but he finally got to a point where he wasn't always pissed off. My mom also chilled out and became much easier to deal with.[/quote]

Yeah, I'm not sure why people would think kids are happy/relieved their parents are divorcing. My parents divorced when my sister was in HS and I was second year of college. They never should have married. But they did. And they should have divorced many, many more years before they did. I hated being home. Constant yelling. Mean yelling. Name calling. Silent treatments. And on and on. Walking on eggshells, always.

While divorce is not fun, and theirs wasn't pleasant, everyone is better off.[/quote]
