Divorce is awful, and absolutely no one should have to go through it. Every kid that has divorced parents will get asked questions hundreds of times.

Most of the time, we get tired of hearing these questions, but we will answer them... sometimes.

"Don't you ever wish that your parents would get back together?"

"Whose house do you like better?"

"How long are you with your mom? Your dad?"

All of these questions have different answers... mostly because, no two divorces are alike.

All divorces are different.

It is hard to write about a divorce to let you all understand what the children of divorce go through. Because sometimes, even us kids with divorced parents don't understand the full meaning. Divorce puts a load of emotional stress on the parents and the children. Legally speaking most of the stress goes on the parents for losing their significant other, but children can lose a parent in some circumstances. They say it is easier for you to understand your parents divorce the older you get. But honestly, it is hard no matter when they get a divorce. On some occasions, it doesn't get easier.

It can affect children in their social lives and in school. Divorce can make or break us. It can make you thrive for success for fall off the deep end because you feel like there is no point in being better.

Some of us will have more trust and commitment issues for future relationships. They say you follow in your parents' footsteps in some way. Most of us get that unlucky and have those thoughts and feelings.

Gaining independence is one of the positives for children of divorced parents.

Having divorced parents means having to find things out by yourself more often when neither of your parents is around. Some times we wish our parents did get back together... Other times we are glad they got a divorce. Most of the time it was for the better.

We have been through a lot in our lives just with the divorce; struggling now two families instead of one, relationships, school, and sometimes a work life. But I wish that no one will ever have to go through a divorce.

If you have divorced parents and need someone to talk to, just know there is someone out there who understands what you are going through. If you don't have divorced parents I hope you never have to go through such an awful phase of life.

Some of us do get lucky though. We get blessed with great step-families that help us try to overcome a major change of events in life. Some of the step-families bring us in as their own; whether it is a grandparent, parent, sibling, aunt, uncle or cousin. Those ones truly are a blessing.

But like I said... All divorces are different. Some of us just get lucky.
