Divorce
When parents get divorce, they have to chose who gets custody of the kid. In some ocasions, they have 2 children so the mom takes one kid and the dad takes the other. The children might even just end up with the same parent. Anyways, when parents get divorce, the family splits, and when they see each other again things might be awkward at first. The siblings might not be as close, and the parents don't get to bond with the children as much. Sure you might get a weekend, or summer, etc. with your parent who's not taking custody of you, but it's much different than seeing them on a daily bases. When people are spending quality time, the 2 try to make the other person like them. If my parents were divorce before I really got to know them, I would ask myself... "is this how mom/dad really is? or is he/she pretending", eventhough thats not the main problem here, it's just a little though that popped into my head.
As kids get older, they make more friends, and have less time to bond with their family, or spending their time texting or talking on the phone. They sometimes feel like they've spent enough time with their parents. This is where the bonding doesn't quite go well.
If only parents thought of their kids before they even think about getting divorce. If only they thought about how their children feel, thinks, and might end up. In America, people have to go through this a lot. Because my parents are not divorced, I do not know how it feels like. My friends with divorced parents say that it's not a big problem now, but what about a few days or weeks after their parents got divorced? How did they feel?
