Perfect therapy for people who need help. I would like to say, I never can imagine it could be possible to heal people like that

I have been through a lot in life too, which helps me to be able to empathize with situations, thoughts and feelings that we have. Sometimes, it's not easy just being human.

This is unfortunately something beyond your control. Keep a line of communication open with your parents during this process-- remember that they still love you and this decision was not based on you. You can still maintain a wonderful relationship with both of your parents, and they may even have a very healthy friendship with each other. You can facilitate that process by being open about how you're feeling-- positive or negative-- and not shutting them out. Also remind yourself lean on your friends and other family members during this time if you need some space.
Well there can be so many reasons for a divorce. Maybe try to unerstand both parties and what moved them toward that big step... Maybe you'll understand bette afterwards the reason of their choice
First things first, realise that it's not your fault, people split up, it happens, blaming yourself wont help anyone, especially not you, what you should do, is be open to your parents about how you feel, and how it's affecting you, them splitting up doesn't mean they're not your parents anymore, they'll still be there for you.
The issue is with your parents, not you. None of this is your fault these things happen, the best you can do is love both of your parents.
Don't worry. You can will be talk to your mom or father? I'm confident they are listening you. If they are don't listen,don't worry,please.They are love you and supportive you everytime
