My parents are divorced...?

[the cutie with a bootie]

And I am tired of not having a dad around. What should I do?they divorced when i was two and my mom lied to me about why they had divorced. she said that he didnt do anything. and my dad said that she cheated on him with his best friend. so i asked my grandmother what really happened, and she said that she did remember something about a guy in the story.

tell both your parents how you feel. tell your parents you want your dad to be more active in your lifeIf your dad doesn't want to be more active in your life i suggest you learn to live without him. its tough but it has to be done. Other than that, tell your mom to start dating again, maybe she'll find a better man than your father. If your dad is a wonderful man, he'll make an effort to be in your life.

I wish I could answer you,..... I never had a dad. Just a single mom. I always wanted to have a dad, more importantly my REAL dad. My mom told me he left her when he found out she was pregnant. And I know she hates him for it,.... but I cant. I guess thats life, huh? I am sorry. .... and I hope your dad makes a BIG effort to come see u often.

Whatever happened to cause your parents to divorce is between them. It has nothing to do with your grandma or you. This is between your mother and your father. If you are tired of not having your dad around, why don't you call him and ask to visit? He doesn't have to be "around" for you to see him. Whether he sees you or not is up to him. You can't force your parents back together, much as you'd wish to, so you have to get used to it. It is better to accept life the way it is than complain all the time and try to make something happen that never will. (Try thinking about your parents instead of yourself. If you continue to complain and be "tired of not having a dad around" what you're doing is making both of them feel bad -- not bad enough to get back together because like I said before, that's between them.)
