Iv been there...and it is hard. I guess all you really can do is know that it isnt your fault and that this is unfortunately a fairly normal thing these days so you are not alone. Maybe it would help if you found some friends who are going through, or have gone through the same thing you are struggling with. My parents divorced when I was 7 or 8. It was UGLY...and worst of all....all I had was my sister to talk to about it. (and she was 6)

There isn't really any good way. Everyone handles things differently. Just keep in mind that they are your parents and they both will always love you and be there for you. Don't be scared to let it all out to a friend or something. If you feel like crying, cry. Don't be ashamed. It's good to talk about it and not keep it bottled up, that can make things worse. My husbands parents are going through this and his lil sis is still at home havig to deal with it all. It's hard. Just be stong.

Just know that it's not your fault at sometimes it's better that parents go their separate ways rather than stay together and make everybody miserable.
I am sure you want both your parents to be happy and this maybe the only way for them. My parents separated after thirty two years of marriage, four children, three homes, and lots more. They are still both single, not looking but at least they are not arguing every day, etc. and it has proven to be a more stable environment for us the kids.

I am so sorry
My kids have and still are trying to deal with it and it's been 2 1/2 years. I have put them in counseling I suggest you talk to your parents about seeking some help. Also I don't know if you talk and share your feelings with your parents, if you don't i suggest you do they need to know what you are going thru too. Good luck sweetie and remeber it is not your fault your parents didn't work out, people change and grow apart and it is NOT YOUR FAULT.
lol

Just remember that you are not the reason your parents are divorced. It was something that happened to two people that were married. They still both love and care about you. They are still your parents, they are just not man and wife. Try to seperate things. Your parents are happy apart, you should be happy for them.

Realize that it is not your fault first of all. Secondly, what do you enjoy? If it is sports, excel. Practice harder and keep busy. If it is books you love, read all that you can get your hands on to. Better yourself with what you love to do. Volunteer your time perhaps so that you can fell kindness and generousity in your heart. You'll be suprised at how good you have it. You'll be fine if you stay strong and happy with who you are.

Don't worry, I have that stuff also. A good way to handle it is I suggest you call your mom\dad every once in a while talk with them, maybe go over to thier house, or hang out with friends, or you could talk to your mom\ dad about it.

You will survive it. Just take one day at a time. And do not let them put you in the middle. Say it is not fair.

just love them both and if you feel they put you in the middle of things you don't want or need to be in, let them know how you feel. ask them not too. let them know you love them both, you did not pick them as your parents, they picked one another. don't allow them to down the other to you. just remember it is not your fault their marriage did not work. keep yourself busy in your own things, what ever they may be.
