Divorce from the child愀 point of view... very triggering lyrics... :(

Family Portrait
Uh, uh, some deep shit, uh, uh
Momma please stop cryin, I can't stand the sound
Your pain is painful and its tearin' me down
I hear glasses breakin as I sit up in my bed
I told dad you didn't mean those nasty things you
said
You fight about money, bout me and my brother
And this I come home to, this is my shelter
It ain't easy growin up in World War III
Never knowin what love could be, you'll see
I don't want love to destroy me like it has done
my family
Can we work it out? Can we be a family?
I promise I'll be better, Mommy I'll do anything
Can we work it out? Can we be a family?
I promise I'll be better, Daddy please don't
leave
Daddy please stop yellin, I can't stand the sound
Make mama stop cryin, cuz I need you around
My mama she loves you, no matter what she says
its true
I know that she hurts you, but remember I love
you, too
I ran away today, ran from the noise, ran away
Don't wanna go back to that place, but don't have
no choice, no way
It ain't easy growin up in World War III
Never knowin what love could be, well I've seen
I don't want love to destroy me like it did my
family
Can we work it out? Can we be a family?
I promise I'll be better, Mommy I'll do anything
Can we work it out? Can we be a family?
I promise I'll be better, Daddy please don't
leave
In our family portrait, we look pretty happy
Let's play pretend, let's act like it comes
naturally
I don't wanna have to split the holidays
I don't want two addresses
I don't want a step-brother anyways
And I don't want my mom to have to change her
last name
In our family portrait we look pretty happy
We look pretty normal, let's go back to that
In our family portrait we look pretty happy
Let's play pretend, act like it goes naturally
In our family portrait we look pretty happy
(Can we work it out? Can we be a family?)
We look pretty normal, let's go back to that
(I promise I'll be better, Mommy I'll do
anything)
In our family portrait we look pretty happy
(Can we work it out? Can we be a family?)
Let's play pretend act and like it comes so
naturally
(I promise I'll be better, Daddy please don't
leave)
In our family portrait we look pretty happy
(Can we work it out? Can we be a family?)
We look pretty normal, let's go back to that
(I promise I'll be better, Daddy please don't
leave)
Daddy don't leave
Daddy don't leave
Daddy don't leave
Turn around please
Remember that the night you left you took my
shining star?
Daddy don't leave
Daddy don't leave
Daddy don't leave
Don't leave us here alone
Mom will be nicer
I'll be so much better, I'll tell my brother
Oh, I won't spill the milk at dinner
I'll be so much better, I'll do everything right
I'll be your little girl forever
I'll go to sleep at night

There was a LONG time when I couldn't listen to that song at all. I
hated it when would come on, when my youngest daughter was in the car
(she likes Pink). It's a heartbreaking song. :-(

several times if you get the chance.
the child's overwhelming desire to escape into a "pretty happy" world
reveals the haunting truth of divorce with children.

I saw the video clip on a TV with out the sound. It stirred up incredible
guilt feelings in me and I knew I had to look up the
lyrics. Mind blowing. :(
I feel so horrible for not being able to provide my son with the family we
see in advertising. I have a hard time getting over this...

Sounds to me like a really rotten marriage to start with.
Divorce might be a relief.

Reminded me of the dad yelling and screaming and breaking things and wishing
they WOULD break up! Lying in my bed at night crying becuz i was so sick of
the yelling, and seeing him belittle her and all that sh*t. Not to mention
walking on eggshells every f*cking day not knowing if we were going to get
screamed at, too. Oh, they never divorced. Divorce is so evil. It's better
to stay together and let the kids grow up in terror. (sarcasm)
I'm glad my kids don't have to listen to all that screaming and crying between
their parents anymore. Divorce liberated them from it.

"commercial"
but watch the face of the adult Pink, why is she crying?
and listen to some of her other stuff
from "misadaztood"
When I'm happy, I am sad
But everything is good
It's not that comlicated
I'm just misunderstood
There might be a day
Everything it goes my way....
from "dear diary"
I learned my lesson young and
I turned myself around....
The little girl's (Pink) got a lot of internal fortitude, and wouldn't let
the industry paint her into a corner.
I plan on purchasing anything she releases.

I've heard that song ONCE. it was quite a bit of a downer, although
there are MUCH MUCH worse triggers on the radio and television.
Actually i saw the video to that song on MTV or VH1.
you know there is a song that makes me alot more upset...
its "NO PLACE LIKE HOME" by PAX 217
i hate it whenever i hear it... but i'll post the lyrics anyway...
I wanna go home been gone so long
Remember the way it was when Dad and Mom
Now it's gone but somethin' gotta keep the family strong
So we keep holdin' on to each other and our faith in God
Is what keeps is sane and carries us on
So kids from now on ya betta recognize
That there's no place like home
No place like home
Some say that home home is where the heart is
Not just your heart but your brotha and your sista
Your mother your father that's were it's at
Fell in love said I do I love you then came you
Into a world that you once knew
Now it broke in two and you don't know what to do
Brought tears to your eyes that made you realize
That there's no place like home
No place like home
Take take take take me home
Yeah I grew up in a Christian house
Listenin' to Psalty and Charity Church Mouse
Never did I know and never did I guess
That 18 years later our home would be a mess
Don't get all the treason don't know all the reasons
Why life takes turns good and bad seasons
Something's gotta mend these ripped up hearts
Whatever happened to death do us part
Mom n' Dad come back around
Breakin' me the family tree gettin' shut down
No place like home
Take take take take me home

My DD and I heard this song in the car the other night.. she said.. "Mom..
the first time I heard her sing the lyrics 'daddy please don't leave'.... I
started to cry"....
When she told me that.. *I* started to cry. We didn't have the kind of
turmoil going on in our family that Pink describes, but obviously.. we're
divorced.. so it wasn't all roses either...

I can kind of understand that, and I don't know your situation, but
sometimes I think people use "that" as a crutch ("that" being that kids
should be out of a bad relationship, so it is better to be divorced for the
kids sake.) Not saying you have done that.
I think my STBX did. She would go on and on about being unhappy and that it
was better for the kids if we seperated, better if Mom was happy, better if
the kids didn't live in a house where their parents argued (tho if you asked
the kids, they said they didn't know. Yes, in an abusive relationship it is
desirable for people to get out, but people bandy about the concept of
"abuse" as well. I told my STBX before she disappeared from the house that
I hated her, hated her because of what she was doing to the kids and to me
when she announced she was leaving. Is that abuse? Well, she thought so,
and said I was abusive. Guess I am not cracked up to be a Buddhist after
all, what with water rolling off of my back like a duck, but you know, I
felt I had a right to say, "I hate what you are doing, I hate what you are
doing to our children, and I hat you for doing it." I didn't see that as
"abuse" so maybe it is me that is fubar.
