I wouldn't know. Honestly, I haven't had one of my parents for most of my life. He left when I was around five years old. I never knew what to think of him. So I guess I've had a long time to get used to it. Sometimes, time does heal wounds.

First, acknowledge that and accept it. Then remember to not blame yourself because it is definitely not your fault that cause them to leave. Upon that, look for the many other things in life that would make your life more meaningful (i.e., friends, hobbies, goals, work, etc).

First I start to deal with what is it that made me love that parent. All of the positive things we did together, time we spent. What was about that parent that I enjoyed I try to use that to help me get past the fact that their gone.

I know what it feels like and its painful, knowing there someone that was in your life gone. And has a kid growing up I had my mum/dad around, then see my mum leave in my eyes is horrible no one should feel that pain.

Time will heal this problem! It'll be tough but you have to try and remember how proud they are of you and that they will always be in your heart. Be brave and don't shut out any emotional feelings because this will only make it all worse :)

Try to put yourself in their shoes to understand why and think of how much of a negative impact they would have had on your life if they stayed.

The parent that left is an adult and he/she is responsible for whatever decisions that they have made... On your side all you can do is respect the decision that that person has made and know that whatever the decision may be all you can do is let them learn in their own time..

It can be very difficult when you lose a connection with someone you were close with. Talking about how it makes you feel with a trusted friend, family member or health professional can help.
