Advantages: None.

Disadvantages: Can affect children.

When I was three my mum and dad divorced although I was young and did not understand I have grown up thinking what if my mum and dad were still togeather.I will explain how they ended up getting a divorce my mum and dad had been togeather for ten years before I was born they had always had problems my dad used to beat my mum and go to the pub every night.

I suppose thats where he met her(his wife) he treated my mum bad but because they had children togeather she stuck with him and tried to make it work in 1983 when I was 3 my mum kicked my dad after she found out he had been cheating on her and got the women pregnant.

My mum and dad divorced and I feel this has affected me because I never had a dad around now I know some parents divorce and share responsabilty for the kids but in my case this was far from true. My mum offered my dad access but he was not intrested all he wanted was his new wife.

They now have 4 children togeather and when my son was born she told me I only had a baby so I could see my dad. I did see my dad he came to see me while I was in hospital but could not wait to leave and this really hurt me.People tell me I should forgive and forget but how can I? She took my dad away and for as long as I live I will never forgive her.Nowadays a lot of marraiges end in divorce and most of the time there is a third person involved.

It has been 18 years since my dad left and I still feel my life is affected by this.
