Can't believe it..

After 26 years of marriage, two kids and a buying a house together my parents (mom, actually) have decided to seperate. My Mom will be moving in with her mother and my Dad and I will be staying here trying to cope. I shouldn't have to rely on these anti-depressants that I was just prescribed today to take care of me and keep me sane but I have to. Let's just hope it works.

I could go on for days about the situation and I'd really like to, actually, to get it out in the open and ask for more thorough advice. 😬

I just took an Ambien. I hope it kicks in soon. I've slept maybe 7-9 hours in 3 or so days.
Yes, what killed Heath Ledger with a mix of other stuff.

And please don't judge me because I don't think I'd ever really do it but since finding out about this all and what I'll lose forever, I've felt like I really shouldn't be living anymore. 😬 I'd be a lot better off.

Go talk to a counselor and try to refrain from posting stuff like this here, that's my only advice.

Sorry to hear this, Kels..

If you wanna talk more about it someplace else let me know..

You will be ok in time and stay away from ambien, make sure that is the first and only time you take it.. What you need is some time away from things to refresh your mind and your heart. I'm here if you choose to talk..

Divorces are really just good for children between 6 and 14 ...

I am sorry to hear that.

My parents have been divorced for years, since I was five, and yes, it does indeed suck.

But it is no reason to end your own life. You are still pretty young, you have many more years left, don't waste them lamenting on how much it sucks that your parents are divorced/fighting. I did that for years, and I was miserable.

its not worth it in the end...i feel bad but i dont know what else to say. i had a crappy day too...

Mine divorced when I was 12, after 21 years of marriage. Of course it hurts, but it happens. Your parents have a life too, and passion fades as you get older, you really can't help that. It took me more than a few years to even get along with my dad again, and I really regret that it took that long, because I love him very much.

I don't see why you pointed out that you are taking the same things as Heath Ledger, he's just another person that's committed suicide... But you shouldn't feel any of this is your fault, your parents have lives too, and unfortunately for the rest of us, they make decisions we don't exactly agree with.

My dad is an unmitigated jackass though, haven't talked to him in about 3 years

Parents were never married.

Now-a-days they just bone once and a while

Ledger didn't commit suicide.

Well, who can say, really? My parents divorced, although I was only a baby at the time, and it's had no impact on me (aside from me not knowing my dad and having an annoying step-dad), and I'm fine with it, because I know that it was their problem, and it couldn't have possibly had anything to do with me. Ah, I'm probably not helping much. Any specific reason for them realizing they want to split?

This is actually very, very similar to what I went through less than a year ago. My parents both ended up deciding to give it another go and they're doing well, but I know what you're going through - I also know that none of this "do this do that" shit will do **** all for you right now, there is no right way to cope with these sort of things; I coped with it with drug use, if you do the same, then be safe.

I know it's really hard and you probably can't get it off your mind, no matter what. I don't really have any advice, just stay yourself and try not to take it out on your parents (which is massively hard).

Anyway, I've been through what you're going through now and it's ****ing horrible. As much as we've argued in the past and that, don't hesitate to PM about it, better out than in and all that.

My parents divorced when I was 9, lucky for me I was too young to understand what was going on.
