This is insane...

OK, I know I haven't been here in a while, so I'll summarize my current situation:

My mom's finally had enough of my dad, and it's gotten rather clear that she plans to divorce him. Now, I don't care about that, since I can't stand my dad, but what bothers me is that she won't let my brother live with my dad if it comes to that.

I don't want to sound mean or anything, but it's become painfully clear that my brother is.....well, a pain! To me and my mother!

I get that if my brother goes, my mom won't get as much child support as she would if he was still around. But if he goes, she won't have to spend as much money! I don't ask for much! Beyond the essentials! Wouldn't it be better in the long run?

And the worst part is, I have no idea when the divorce will happen! Why can't she just pick a date and be done with it?!

*sigh* Why does divorce have to be so messy?

Wow.

*shrug*

Z, i'm not judging but if your dad is that bad i don't think it would wise to leave your brother with him.

stupid divorce.>->. mucks everything up.

Divorces take a long time... trust me. It took over a year for my parents to be finalized. >.<

Your brother may be a pain to you and your mother but he is still her son. I'm sure there is more then money she thinks about when she looks at him. Not many good mothers would be willing to give up their children. No matter what the cost.

Divorces are very messy and scary. >.< *hugs*

I wish things had worked out better between your parents. I'm sorry they didn't.

It's alright. It was bound to happen sooner or later.

And Ink, my dad isn't a wife-beater or anything like that. Hell, he'd have to get his lazy butt off of the couch to do that, and that's not very likely.

So, my brother would actually be getting what he wants: total freedom.

*hugs lots*

I understand that this is really hard. I'm sorry.

You do have to think though, this is going to be hard for your brother too.

[{×ÏÑk§tÊ®88×}]

yeah.

He'll calm down.Guys are usually a bit roudy at my age.
It passes.TRUST ME.

I'v been through having an adult brother, especially at twelve.Or thirteen.Kids tend to get a bit meaner at both these ages, and their older brothers are probably sick of being around family.Dram, drama, and drama.

Maybe you'll both grow up to be great friends.^^...maybe.

Your dad sounds fat.And bald.and lazy.>->

[ZeroVX]

*hugs back*

No need to apologize, Ogre.

And Ink, my dad isn't fat or bald.....yet. But he is lazy. And commanding. And egotisitcal. And hypocritical....

And I could go on and on...

Yeah, it will be hard for my brother. But he'll deal with it by being worse than he is now. Which, I would hope, isn't possible.
