Parents of the year
Today, I got to experience the rare pleasure of overhearing my divorcing parents admit that neither of them want full custody of me, or even shared custody, and then planning to guilt one of my grandparents into accepting custody instead. God I hate them both. FML

For the kids
Today, I overheard my parents discussing their divorce. Apparently, what they mostly disagree over is that neither of them want custody of me and are considering delaying their divorce until I’m 18, because at least then legally I’m not either of their problem to deal with. FML

Today, I won my custody battle. I wish I could be happy about it, but it strained my current marriage so badly that now I'm going through my second divorce. FML

Today, I was arguing with one of my professors. She said that all married couples fight and I told her that my parents have never argued or fought about anything. When I got home my parents told me that they're getting a divorce. FML

I know its a long shot but is there a chance they have a pre-arranged custody agreement prior to separating? Custody battles can be lengthy and costly, and they may have an arrangment they both agreed on to avoid totaking it to court. Excuse the "totaking" typo. Despite my several attempts to fix it my phone is having none of it =/

Apperantly the pre arranged agreement is " damn we could do better off without him what a **** up " lmao

I hate how there are people in the world that would love to have children + a family. And cannot conceive. Then there are facefucks in this sad world who can, and they underappreciate their creations. **** the world.

Op maybe it has nothing to do with you? Maybe they just don't want to fight, for your sake. As a mother who has been in a terribly nasty custody battle, I would never want another child to go through what my child has been through. Thank god my kidos were young enough not to be truly effected by it, but had they been older it would have been devastating.

81, some people are all or nothing, either they care infinitely or they don't give a shit. I'm one of those people, seems like she is too. It's not a choice to overreact, my brain just does :/

People are too materialistic these days. They both did a cost/benefit analysis on you, and your future earnings projection is so bleak, you're an unattractive business proposition. Sorry, but you should have tried harder in math.

This hit way too close to home for me. When I was 10 my mom never even showed up at the custody hearing. I wish you the best and I hope you can find someone who will love to be your parent(s). In my case it was my aunt, good luck!

Just because they didn't fight over you does not mean they don't like you. My parents didn't fight over me and my brothers, my Dads away a lot so we live with our Mom now. We still see both and its been about 15 years or more now. As long as there not "fighting to not have you" then everything's fine and will work itself out.
