Divorce is never easy. Just stay in touch constantly, let him know that you miss and love him.. Email him, call him, and your mom... I am going through a divorce too and it is never easy on the kids... but just remember, just because they are divorcing each other, it is not your faults, and they are not divorcing you, and they love you both very much. I wish you the best...

Are you staying with your father? Why can't your mother wait until you are done with school? That is wrong to break up a family like that. Does your mother have no money and family in OH? I'm so sorry. I have no idea how old you are so that makes it hard for me to say what your options are.
As far as dealing with it? Best thing for you to do is learn from this situation. Marriage shouldn't be taken lightly, especially when children are involved. Personally, I think your parents are extremely selfish but my opinion isn't going to change anything. Just hang in there. Call and write him. Send pictures back and forth. If he is old enough to use a computer then talk to him online. When you're done with school, consider moving to OH. I have to say, Ohio isn't Florida but it will be worth the sacrifice.

Sorry, this totally sucks. We are so lucky to have the internet these days. Get a web cam for each of you so you guys can chat and see each other all of the time. Try your hardest to stay close and stay in each others lives. My parents moved to CO from CA and took my little bro with and it has worked out pretty well. We also try to visit a couple of times a year. Hang in there, it is hard but you guys will be ok.

Oh hun, I am so sorry. Honestly you have to keep in touch with your brother, Visit each other as much as possible and never try to lose this bond. I know its hard because he is moving away but you will see him again soon. I dont know how close you are in age, but you could end up going to the same college and seeing each other everyday. Once you graduated you guys can share an apt and live close by. Whatever you do not lose that bond!!

This is a very situation that you're going through. Is there any way you can go with your mom and brother? If not, can you visit them during the summers? If that will not be enough and you can't do either thing I have suggested, getting counseling and talking to your brother over e-mail might help to lessen the blow. At any rate, you're going to need someone to talk to about this, and friends and counselors are very good people to talk to. Best wishes.

The time will pass very quickly, it is not your or your brother's fault, and if this is what your mom must do, there must be very serious reasons for it. Phone calls are cheap, keep in touch with your brother 3-4 times a week, and stay close to him. He will miss you also, maybe more since he is younger (I assume he is younger). All this will pass before you know it, hang in there, and don't let this get to you. Good luck and peace.

It's just one of those things in life that you have to learn how to accept. It doesn't sound like you have a choice in the matter. Don't know if you believe in God, but prayer always helps. Keep in touch with your brother via email. Write him letters, send him pictures, call him, and encourage him to do the same. Wish I had a better answer. Good luck and may God bless you and your brother.

It's sad, but you aren't alone. Don't worry, time goes by fast and soon you'll be old enough to visit him or whatever.
We can thank liberalism for the rampant divorce and the breaking up of families.

-Talk to counselors/friends/anyone. Call him & write him all the time. THere is no sugar-coating this. It's gonna be very hard for you. He's been there your whole life.
