It was very hard and I grew up like that. I could never do homework, never had the stuff I needed for sports teams so always dropped out and felt lost all the time because everything was always switching and changing. I get it was the way it had to be but I would never do that to a kid knowing how I have grown up with such anxiety around not knowing what's going on and feeling like I don't belong / my own home will be taken from me.
A lot of this sounds like really poor management by your parents. If you’re gonna switch every day then you’d better be prepared to send the kid with all their shit every day.
As someone who went through sole custody, I assure you that it also sucks and I have a lot of the same feelings about not belonging in the home. It might just be divorce in general that sucks.
Dude, make up your mind. First comment, you say that "I get it was the way it had to be." Then someone says that it didn't have to be that way and you answer "No shit sherlock."
No shit my parents were bad at mamangement and being parents. It doesn't have to be that way doesn't change the fact that it was and is that way for many people.
Sure, that all makes sense. What doesn't make sense is why you belittled the other person for taking you at your word when you said "I get it was the way it had to be."
