So you heard the news. Your parents got a divorce. Some things you may be feeling are:
 |
| sadness |
 |
anger
and... |
 |
| guilt. |
It's OKAY. If your parents split up a longtime ago, you might not remember it, but you would know that your mom or dad didn't live with you for a long time since you were little.
New divorces may be hard to get through, so if you feel like you need more help, then you can tell your parents or a therapist.
And remember this little thing...
ever seen the movie"The Parent Trap"?
Sorry, but it isn't real.

Divorce stinks, for everyone in the family! My divorce was one of the hardest things I ever went through. Suddenly I found myself spending many hours alone with a small baby, who deserved an upbeat, peppy parental experience, when some days I just wanted to stare despondently at the wall, or catch some sleep. It's funny, sometimes the parents in a divorce also feel the same way as the kids:
So, in a way, we do understand what you are going through. We might have a hard time acknowledging it, though, because, well, that whole guilt thing. To acknowledge the struggle is to remind us how much our actions affect the whole family.
Savannah says:
having different feelings is okay, but you should still talk to your parents first.
