In my experience, the most important thing to do in times of stress is take care of yourself. The problems between your parents is just that-their problem. So focus on you.

Understand that although things will change, things are going to get better. Your parents will be happier and you'll learn life skills. An important thing for you to do is be supportive and help out around the house

It's a very emotional time when your parents are getting divorced and it is okay to be unsure of how are feeling. Whether you're angry or sad what you are feeling is normal. It will be a bit up and down for a while but don't be afraid to ask for help or to come to me and just vent.

You can be a strong person. Try to understand that there is nothing you can do and it will take time to accept it but you can do it eventually.

It's never easy when parents separate, make sure they both know how you feel about it. It's also important to know whats gonna happen after, tell them to tell you whats gonna happen.

This sounds awful and very distressing! Sometimes things come to an end in life and you shouldn't put pressure on yourself in thinking their is anything you can do, this can lead to you feeling depressed .. All you can do is support them both and be their for them both hope this helps, keep your chin up!xxx

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.

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.
