| 4142 | Article | DirtyD79 | E.T. is the first movie I remember seeing in theaters when I was a kid. Me and my brother went with our grandma to this small single screen theater a few blocks away from our house to see it. I also remember there was a parade outside when we got out. I'm guessing the parade was for Fourth of July or something. We also had the E.T. Atari 2600 game. Surprisngly I actually liked it but then I was a little kid at the time. | Sep 21, 2017 |  | |
| 3949 | Article | Vaporman87 | Thanks for sharing these special memories with your father post-divorce. I know exactly how you felt. I too had to deal with the divorce of my parents at around the same age. It was a difficult time, but it was nice to have the time specifically devoted to doing things together. I lived with my mom until I was old enough to make my own choice of who to live with, and since my mom was moving to another town and I had no interest in losing my friends and making new ones, I moved in with my dad. But I can still remember that first time I visited dad following the split. He took us into town and bought me a Mantis figure from G.C. Murphy's, then we went and watched Silver Bullet. I remember nothing about that movie, but I clearly recall that it was the film we watched. I benefited from the divorce in many ways, but most of all with an expanded family. I earned a brother that I am close to even today, with my dad once again divorced. I met many new people I would have otherwise never known, and experienced new things. Sure it was tough on me, but I don't think I would go back and change anything in regard to their split. | Divorced Dad Memories | Jun 21, 2017 | |
| 3955 | Article | NLogan | I can relate. I too was an every other weekend visit to dad's kid. Freddy's in the mountain states is a cool 50s joint to get a burger. You already know I love comics. My dad, my twin and I all had our weekly rituals or as my dad put it, "Let's rent a pizza, and buy a movie". We did Shopping at Food 4 Less with the grocery total being the same week after week, Blockbuster Video until we were banned and then some no name ma and pa video store, miniature golf, arcades, moview theaters, and Tae Kwon Do. | Divorced Dad Memories | Jun 21, 2017 | |
| 3956 | Article | NLogan | I also have this issue of Amazing Spider-Man that looks suspiciously similar to yours. <p><img src="http://retro-daze.org/uploads/0ebb67faf2111904784c7f409f76a328.jpg"> </p> | Divorced Dad Memories | Jun 21, 2017 | |
| 3957 | Article | Rick Ace Rhodes | While I can't relate fully, there was a brief period in my life where I went through this. My parents split up for a period of time back when I was in third grade. They eventually got back together, but it was a weird period none the less. I remember sitting in bed one night, a night that my father returned home after I went to bed. I was pretending to sleep while listening to my parents in the living room have an extremely emotional discussion. I just spent the entire night that night thinking about what the future held for my family and how the life I had up until that moment was likely over. Soon after that is when I started having days out with my dad on the weekend. From the morning to night he would take me out to eat, see a movie, go shopping and just do other activities that he knew I would enjoy. While I enjoyed every day I had with him, deep down on the inside I was upset knowing that this was likely going to be the new normal for me. I guess I’m a lucky kid in this type of situation, my parents got back together eventually. Eventually the entire incident became a thing of the past and was completely forgotten by everyone. | Divorced Dad Memories | Jun 21, 2017 | |
| 3958 | Article | NLogan | I also listened to the shadow on cassette tape collections with my uncle. "Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows!" Followed by this menacing laugh. We also eat German Pancakes at my house. I get the corners. | Divorced Dad Memories | Jun 21, 2017 | |
| 3960 | Article | Vaporman87 | @Rick: What a great thing that your parents eventually reconciled their differences. Spared you a lot of uncertainty and sleepless nights. If there was one thing that bothered me the most about my parents' divorce, it was that I no longer had my Dad around to make me feel safe in my own home. | Divorced Dad Memories | Jun 21, 2017 | |
| 3963 | Article | Hoju Koolander | I had a feeling this would hit close to home for a lot of us. My story is far from unique as there are many great "Divorced Dads" out there. My Dad just happens to be the best ;) @Vaporman87 It's awesome that you got a new brother you liked out of the divorce. Is he the one in that hilarious video series of you trying to assassinate your younger brother and vice versa? @RickAceRhodes That is the dream of so many kids of divorced parents, what a story. @NLogan Your Dad story of video store drama is one of my favorites an his quote is such a "Dadism". Apparently Tarantula has one money pose and he's sticking with it. | Divorced Dad Memories | Jun 22, 2017 | |
| 3990 | Article | Timothy Zero | I am happy to read a positive divorce story since a lot of them out there are terrible and very sad (like my own). I really did enjoy your article though! Thanks for sharing! | Divorced Dad Memories | Jul 16, 2017 | |
| 4987 | Article | Vaporman87 | I wish I could have tried a McDLT now that I'm an adult who could appreciate such things. Maybe one day they'll bring that back. | Retro Fast Food That is No More 2: I'm Lovin' It Edition | Jul 28, 2019 | |
