Share your feelings with people you trust
It can be rough on the whole family when parents split up. You don’t have to go through it alone.
Remember that it’s their choice - it’s never your fault. And it’s not up to you to try and fix things between them.
When parents split up it can be a lot to deal with!
It might bring up some of the following emotions:
Sadness that your family is changing
Worry that things are changing or uncertain
Anger that your parents couldn’t work things out
Fear that you may not see one parent as much or at all
Relief if your parents were fighting or things felt tense
Confusion around why your parents are splitting
Loneliness if you can’t talk about it with anyone
Grief because your family is going to be different
"My parents are getting divorced and I don't know what to do."
