Children of Divorce
Reddit user Octagore felt awful for one of their friends whose parents were in the midst of a nasty divorce. But they had no idea that they were soon going to need a shoulder to cry on, too.
“I found out my friend’s parents were getting divorced, and I thought “Oh my goodness, that’s crazy. I can’t imagine how bad that would be! It would suck to be him!” Then I found out my parents were getting divorced the next day. I was in 4th grade.”
