Would you ever tell your sibling that it was their fault that their parents split up?
Me and my sister fight and argue a lot, but I don't think I would go as far as tell her it was her fault that something with our parents happened.
I don't know, but when you are angry you say anything. If Walter was thinking that the parents got divorced because of Danny then when he is angry he is speaking what he thinks without realising the effect the words has. I don't think i would do that to my siblings.
shareI think Walter just said that out of anger, however the sad truth is that sometimes divorced parents tell their children that they got divorced because they were "bad" kids. Me I would never tell my siblings that. Then again my sibling is older than me. I am the younger children. Things like that only have an affect if an older sibling makes such a statement because younger kids look up to older siblings. If a younger sibling said that you just go "yeah whatever" I can tell you one thing, as a parent I would NEVER tell the my children the divorce was their fault. Divorce is never the child's fault, even if the children were one of the factors of the divorce.
shareMy parents never split up, but when I was a kid I told my little brother all kinds of horrible things. I once told him it was his fault our dog died, and that the reason it was raining was because he made God cry. Yeah, I was pretty bad to my little brother, but that over 30 years ago...
He may get over it soon. I'm hopeful. :D
If I had a little sibling before my parents divorced(I do have a baby sibling, but it was after my divorce dad remarried), I would NEVER tell them that!
-This is madness!
-This is politics.
eh, not gonna lie.
ive said it before.
it didnt even hurt her feelings though.
and sadly, parents DO tell there kids that its there fault they got divroced.
i asked my dad if it was my fault cuz they got divorced cuz they were fighting all the time, and they fought about me alot, cuz he was my step dad, and thought my mom was to easy on me, and he said it WAS my fault.
sometimes poeple suck like that.

There seems to be a lot of people on this thread in happy families, with angels for siblings, because frankly you'd be surprised at the nasty, deliberately hurtful things some siblings are willing to spit out at each other.
My parents didn't divorce but my older sister, who I'd still dearly love it if she rots in hell one day, used to say despicable things to me.
Fickle is he that says farewell when the road darkens.
