Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

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

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

Cool story bro.

Dude, they aren't worthy of you anyway. Logically, it was probably just a financial decision on their part, most likely not reflective of you at all.

It's possible that they're doing it to avoid legal complications. If one parent goes for full custody sometimes the other one will get angry and create trouble out of spite. Perhaps op's parents are trying to avoid a battle.

If you are 12 years old or older, you get to choose who you live with. There is no point for the parents to go through a lengthy custody battle when all you have to say is "I want to live with my mom." or "I want to live with my dad." Your parents' lawyers probably explained this to them when they started their divorce, and is probably the reason they are not fighting in court for you.

I'm not sure your comment is accurate because I'm twelve and my parents are going through a divorce. I'm not old enough to stand in court, I have a guardian ad litem relaying my opinions, but my opinions may not have any effect on the final ruling.

A parent should never neglect a child that way. All you assholes saying its her fault. Keep it to your self.
