"I know it had to end but I oftern wonder if my divorce is the reason my son started getting bad grades. He's a great kid but is joining the military just so he can afford college. I feel so guilty" - whisper

"Telling my kids I'm in a new relationship one year after my divorce is harder than I thought" - whisper

"The hardest part about divorce for me is not seeing my baby girl everyday. I miss tucking her in at night and kissing her forehead" - whisper

"It's never easy convincing your daughter to give her father a chance when you are divorcing him" - whisper

"My kids hate me because I divorced their father and I can't tell them all the horrible things he did to me so I let them treat me like crap" - whisper

"I'm divorced. I have my son twice a week and every other weekend. When he's not here I sleep with his spongebob blanket. He's my best friend" - whisper

Using a new, free app called Whisper these confessions reveal the raw side of life as a single parent and the real impact of divorce on children’s lives.

No two parents admissions are the same.  Some miss the comfortable routine of family life and kissing their little children every night before bed.

Others are torn by the financial pressure of living life on one income and the impact that will have on heir children’s futures. And then there are the people who have found new love, but don’t know how to share the news.
