I have a theory that siblings whose parents are divorced get along better than those who are still married. Agree or Disagree?

I will assume that you mean parents whose relationship has fallen apart -- otherwise I would have to disagree. My brother and I are extremely close and our parents were married until my mother's death.

I disagree. My parents divorced and that didn't bring my brother and I any closer together. Of course, my parents had a very friendly divorce and we saw my dad all the time. Not to mention, they remarried...each other...and then divorced again. So we're not exactly the typical case. =-)

Both. My sister and I fist fight (literally) , but she knows that I would do anything for her and make sure she has everything she needs, since I practically raised her even though Im not that much older. Our parents divorced when I was 11 and she was 6. We had a very messy home life for a while ( and still do, I suppose). Our mom went out dating and drug us around to the different houses and such for a few years. We were always told to hate different people, whether it be our father, mother, an exboyfriend or exgirlfriend. It definetly united us against absolutely everyone else.

Nah. My parents are still together and my sister and I are best friends.

I have six siblings, my parents divorced when I was 10, my siblings and I hardly ever talk.

remember that correlation does not prove causation.

When i was in high school, i think i became more aware of whose parents were still together or not. When i found out a few other kids had broken families i ound i had more o talk about but i didnt chose friendsfor that reaso, it was just interesting to talk to them about it. I enjoyed spending time with other peoples families, i used to enjoy spending time at their house rather than mine. They had more money to buy more cool stuff, horses, pools etc.

In the case of my grandchildren, I believe they often felt/feel as if all they had/have was/is one another. They get along very well, with the oldest often taking on the role of mother.

Depends i suppose, my boyfreind has 3 brothers and the perents are still married..despite there youngest brothers autism they all get along very well. where as my mum and dad are divorced and my sister has always blamed me for being the reason there divorced.

My parents divorced and my sister and i are the best of friends. I dont necessarily think siblings from divorced relationships automatically become close, personally i feel it is the things in life which determine whether siblings become close. In my situation i had to grow up very quickly and take on that parental role as such and i think that this helped in my case, as my sister and i confide in each other irrespective of what it is. At the end of the day i think it comes down to each individual person, you either try to make the effort and it doesnt work out, or you try and have great success.
