in the same house. i lived downstairs with my mom.

like in one house together?

or she had two separate households that she traded off every 4 days

[juliaN.]

I found out like a year ago, after being dead for like a decade, that my grandfather, on the Filipino side, had a whole separate family that he supported and kept on the down lo. Shit is bizarre.

damn man that's some marlon brando shit

[kunk75]

i'm more impressed with the fact that you were dead for a decade. LAZARUS!

[nickthechibi]

sorry to hear that dude

hang in there, it's not an easy thing to go through

for what it's worth my parents have been through a lot of false starts where this nearly happened, and it's been goin on for past 20 years but never quite fell through. Sometimes if two people aren't meant for each other, separation will ease the pain more so than holding on.

damn dude...

my parents right now are only together so that the siblings and I can get into college. Then they over.

shit. I remember hearing them yelling some stupid shit to each other when I was a kid about getting divorced

shit made me so depressed...

[freecat]

divorced parents make children lose faith in marriage. my parents splitted like 5 years ago. it didn't affect me much but affected my lil sis a lot.

the part i hate the most is the one when they tell you stuff about the other one when you're alone with them and all so you prefer them and decide to live with one or the other... they don't think of the consequences at this time...

[Augustus]

My mom and dad yell about divorce all the fucking time. ughh Korean parents.

[sawn-off chef]

so glad that my parents have been divorced forever, since i was 7, i actually can't thank them enough. they were fucked up alone but together god knows, good thing but it still makes childhood really lame.

[dismalfuture]

calling witts a wigger on the boards back in 2005 was Handlethevibe's most notable achievement in those past ten years.

[Astérix]

And yet it was still not as good as when seraphim called him out. Bring back homophobic Handlethevibe haha

[Leonard Leroy]

my dad told me that he had another woman before he told my mom

they tried to get legally divorced as quickly as possible but there were complications

one year later they were back together

parents are just dumb teenagers except they need to be responsible sometimes

My parents were dumb adults. My mom was married to another man when they got together. My birth certificate doesn't say the name I have now.

They were married 3 years after I was born.

Though divorce was never a serious discussion, when my mom was angry she'd talk about how horrible my father's family was and other fun facts. Uh, keep that to yourself, like yours is better. I understand your mad and want to vent but damn, tmi.

[nickthechibi]

^^^ shit...

my mom always talked shit about my dad's fam like they were terrible bumass people.

always argued when my dad took me over to the gma's place

fuck my parents sleep in different rooms... mom stays in my bros room because refuse to sleep in same room as my dad and shit

barely talk, when they do it's ridiculous fucking chaos argueing

my dad just does w/e to make my mom shut up now so basically he gave up on arguing years ago. fool lost his soul

where the functional families at?

[m1sterko]

low income / working together keeps my parents together.

(i suppose)

parents been together 29 years.

fun fact 101: my family used to live in a flood shelter!

[sungrak]

i was just mentioning to someone that i have no idea why my parents ever got married in the first place. they're terrible for each other.

but i cant say thats worse than getting a divorce.

either way that sucks. sorry to hear all these stories.

[oOmegaOo]

The 'rents been staying strong for 35 years; it ain't always rosy, but is it ever?

PS: Will l punch anyone who answers "yes".

PPS: Nah, only kidding. I've never punch anyone.

PMS: Well, maybe my brothers but that was when we were little.

[julzkind]

im scared sometimes that my dad might take a second wife and how it would fuck this family up so bad...worse than it is now, obv.

but i mean, my grandpas on both sides had 2 wives so he prob doesnt think anything of it. and divorce is super last option. ugh.

=/

[villain]

I am posting this from my laptop thousands of feet in the air on a commercial flight.

The fucking internet is in the sky, finally.

I'll look back on this day in ten years and think "i can barely remember the time there was no wifi on flights"

commercial flight, huh

you usually fly private or something b?

wuuuuuuuuuuuuut. He residing in US now, yes? What is your mom's opinion on this, does she have a say?

[whitney]

worst thing my parents did was stay together for my sister and I. They clearly could not stand each other and were miserable, always arguing, which in turn made us even more miserable

They should have just sat us down like adults and said sorry this is not working instead of making it feel like partly our fault cause they were staying together for us

everyone is much happier now that they are continents apart.

i never understood that. my mom told me she was going to divorice my dad but then found out she was pregnant with my younger sister (who doesn't know)

after a few mishaps (affairs on both side..I think..I know my dad cheated cos I caught him and my mom for awhile always got roses/chocolate/gifts) and one too many arguements my mom finally left

she came back of course cos they're now back together under one roof. why I don't know. how I don't care. my mom always taught me that no matter what he's still my dad and she's still my mom whether they're together or divorced BUT my mom was also always huge on staying together for family. they haven't really argued for a long time now and at this point my little sister is all grown up so there's no 'reason' they're together other then them wanting to be together..I hope.......

Virgin America por vida.

[dismalfuture]

I have already decided, many moons ago, that if I don't get the one girl I've built up in my head on my own into a demigoddess, then I will probably just substitute with several women and children with them all, throughout my life. Ray Charles steez for life.

[sidneylo]

the one girl I've built up in my head on my own into a demigoddess

And thus, your fate is sealed.

[freecat]

where the functional families at?

they probably exist... still waiting for the receipe tho.

[juliaN.]

functional family is an oxymoron, just like 'self-help book' and 'organized crime'

[NatseOklim]

My family functioned "fine" until my dad retired and stopped working nights. Everyone thinks their family is fucked though, my friend has the nicest, most supportive parents ever, yet she still finds plenty to moan about them.

[freecat]

the summary of those last 5 pages would be: family and parents sucks.

the problem is that we will probably suck too eventually ...

[juliaN.]

Not me. My family line stops here.

I hate kids and don't care enough to have/raise one well.

[Astérix]

Way to stop the never ending cycle!

[freecat]

oh really ? i want kids, not badly, but if i'm bored in my early 40's...

also i want to be the cool grandfather who cooks for everyone at the family house with all the grandkids playing in the garden near the swimming pool, drinking old whisky with sons and friends, chillin... at last.
