Divorce affects more than just a couple. It affects their children too, and sometimes quite deeply. Even peaceful divorces can leave children and teenagers with emotional scars, like a sense of insecurity and abandonment. Teens especially need to feel love and guidance from both of their parents during their difficult adolescent years. Instead, they might begin to feel that their parents care only about their own happiness and don't really love them. These feelings are normal and difficult to work through. Teens dealing with the divorce of their parents should express their feelings and seek comfort from a trusted friend or family member.

The alcohol. The fighting. It was hard to take seeing them like this.

Daddy says he loves me but he doesn't really mean it
Mommy says she cares but I'm not dumb enough to believe it
They both just want the money that comes with the child
Don't you want me?...
I look out the window and what do I see?
Except for a better version of me?
He did the right where I did the wrong
So, I'm the one that wrote this song...

I walk down this lane.
Full of pain,
waiting for a brighter light.
It seems unreasonable....
He broke me when I was eleven years old
I knew no worse pain
I know the truths of the lies he told
I nearly went insane
This is my life:
My parents are split up.
I can't believe they gave up.
