Hey I just graduated high school I got 2 brothers and a sister. Just yesterday it was a pretty emotional day in my house. My parents who have been together for 20 years told everyone they decided to seperate and that my dad will be moving out in September. Right away my brothers who are 13 and 11 along with my sister who is 9 staretd hysterically crying and I was kind of just standing there. It hurts me but I feel like its worse for my siblings. I mean i got to live 18 years with them and am going off to college anyway. But i feel its just so unfair to my siblings who one is entering high school and the others still growing. Has anyone had a similar expereince before hwo do you get through it cuz it sucks

parents getting divorced

That sucks.
My parents are still together, but I can understand your position. Best thing to do is talk it out with your younger siblings and try to make them understand that it isn't their fault and that even though your parents aren't together it doesn't mean they can't spend time with each other during the week.
Of course, this should be a slap in the face by life. Of course I don't want to sound mean here, but life isn't fair and this might be a wake up call to yourself and your siblings. Things can change suddenly and things can get rough at times. I think it's good that they experience this at a young age as I believe it will make them stronger for events yet to come later on down the road.
Good luck.

Sorry to hear that your siblings aren't taking it so well.
I honestly don't really know what advice to give. When my parents got a divorce I was 2 years old so as far as I'm concerned having 2 parents under the same roof is weird. In fact, when I was young I thought most kid's parents were divorced.
Honestly, I think you guys should just be grateful for having 2 good parents who I assume care about and love their children. There are many people out there who never had either parent to depend on.

my parents divorced when i was in the 6th grade. i was daddy's little girl and daddy was moving out.. so it was tough. i rebelled against my mom and got into loads of trouble, but it's made me who i am today. of course i hate that it didnt work out between them, but things happen. just keep your heads up and dont feel at all like it's your fault.
wow! So the subject line got changed?

Lol, Well when he goes from talking about what "heaven" looks like to mentioning his parents divorce, doesn't take much of a leap in thought to draw up that conclusion...
