What's the best way to get over your parent's divorce and remarriage?

Divorce can be a really destructive thing, it can take a long time, and feels even longer. It can turn your whole world upside down, and remarriage can do just the same. Try to be as open with your parents and new step parent as you can be. It's important to have people around you to support you. Any change can leave us feeling lost, confused, angry and upset. It's completely natural to feel this way, the thing you need to concentrate on is managing and coping with these feelings. Learning to cope with this on a daily basis in a healthy way is the most important thing right now.

Be grateful for your parents' happiness. Their happiness doesn't have to mean your unhappiness. Find something you like about your step-parent. New families are never easy. They require emotional investment from everyone in order to work. Do your part to contribute to the happiness of all, and you will find it returned to you.

A parent's remarriage is never easy to deal with try and look at things from your parent’s perspective and understand that it is your parent’s life and their choice. It is also important I think to not view them as a replacement. Dont expect yourself to come around right away give yourself time. Compromise, see the good, show respect, learn to forgive and don't compare and ultimately extend a hand of friendship and try to not not feel jealous or guilty during this hard time.

To remind that it's not your fault and that sometimes a couple are better parents if they aren't together. With the remarriage think of it as another support person. Hopefully this is another person that in your life that is caring and loving and there if you need them.

I personally think the best way to move forward with parents divorcing or remarrying is to put yourself in their shoes. The decision they are making is going to benefit them greatly and they want and need your love and support during that time.

Remember that your parents still love you no matter what, and that in many situations, people are much better apart than they are together. Find ways to spend time with them one-on-one with you, and make attempts to bond with your new stepfamily as well. You don't have to love and adore each other right off the bat, but everyone should try to respect each other. Good luck!

This is an incredibly difficult question with no easy answers and by the words you have used "Get over", I am hearing that it is still causing you a great deal of distress

Well I don't think you should be sad I think you should be happy for them if they are happy and you should support them . the best way is to accept it and be happy

The best way to get over parent's divorce and remarriage is to think everything in life happens for a reason and its the part and parcel of life
