speak to your councillor at school. Don't worry about telling you brother yet, when or if your parents do get a divorce, then be there to help him adjust, and remember both your parents love you and your brother, even if at sometimes they are so involved with their problems that they don't seem to notice the effect it is having on you. be strong, talk to your friends (best closest ones only).

Hi hon. i've listed 2 websites for you to take a look at.. which are about talking to children about divorce.
the third website is about Teens Coping with Divorce, which i have looked up for you.
you might want to let your parents know that your brother is having a hard time and you BOTH need their attention. people can be selfish. sending hugs

I feel for you two.
Your parents need some bum-kicking for leaving it to you to have to explain this to your little brother.
Did you try calling one of those child-abuse lines? That is what you should do because your parents are emotionally abusing you. And you have professional people giving you advice not like here.
For now just tell him that mummy and daddy are having an argument but that all will be fine and that it is not his fault.
Anymore quetions please email me - my email is in my profile.

Don't let either one of your parents use you, or try to get you to not like the other parent. You need to make sure that they both know that you love them both equally, and you won't participate in their games to try to hurt each other. You have a right to love, and be loved by both parents, and remember that they might say hurful things to you to make you mad at your Dad,,or your Mom. Remember they are trying to hurt each others feelings, and they can do that by trying to hurt your feelings so you will like one parent more than the other. You need to make clear this won't work (even though there will be times you and your brothers feelings will get hurt) They are divorcing because they no longer believe they can function together. It has nothing to do with you or your little bro.Don't blame yourself. This problem was thrown in your lap, but you did NOT create it.

Stating what your problem is might help.

What exactly is the problem? Are you & your little bro being used as pawns in a battle between your parents? See if you can talk about your feelings with your parents, grandparents or another adult that you can really trust. Good luck sweetheart... you are too young to be having such a burden!
