Everybody is different. Not everybody is going to cope in the same way or manner. Somethings take longer than others to deal with. Some people take longer than other to cope with situations. If you feel that you are having problems getting over this situation or any situation, perhaps talking with both of your parents together and individually could ease your worry or feelings. Sometimes just having a friend or an adult you can trust is a good way to get your feelings out. If the feelings become too overwhelming, seeking counseling or therapy might be a good way to deal with those feelings. But the important thing is talking to your parents also.

Embrace their own individuality, as well as your own. You are never the reason for their breakup, nor should you be only reason that keeps them together. Everyone has right for their life, to live it and try to find happiness. Should they remarry, this doesn't change fact that they are your parents. Yes, they should have worked on their marriage, or they actually did. Yes they should bring more sense and love into it. Or they actually did? Yes, such things as love faded, affection gone and miserable companionship happen. One parent cheats or does something else wrong. Or they just don't feel it any more and part as friends. Whatever the reason, you are not it. But you still have two parents. And they love you. This is the fact that didn't change, when the whole world changed.

just relax and try thinking from their point of view once you understand their situation you would easily be able to sort out everything and get over it :)

Focus on other things. Family may be important, but friends are important too. Spend more time with your friends.

The best way to get over a remarriage is to be understanding. You have to accept the fact that your parent will be loving someone who is not your other parent. You have to forgive your parent for moving on, and understand that they are a human being too, and that they are allowed to find love in a partner, and not just within you, their child.

The best way is to respect the decision that your parents have made, knowing that it was done for a reason. Accept where they are and where you are and learn to build your life based on where you are and move forward.

Unfortunately, this happens to a lot of people and it's shame how relatable this topic is. The most important thing to remember is that none of this is your fault and you should never blame yourself for it. Far too many people blame themselves and ask themselves if they didn't something different it may of not happened. It is no ones fault and it is between your parents. You can't really get over it because it's something that will be there for the rest of your life. Your parents made a choice that made them happier and you should respect that and be happy for them no matter how much it hurts. If they have chosen to remarry and it may hurt but they have found someone who truly made them happy, it's important that people find happiness and you should be happy they are happy.

Distracting yourself is one thing. But in the end, you just have to accept it and always remember that no matter what their decision will be, they always cared and thought of you first.

Know that it isn't your fault! Dealing with divorce is very very hard and something that takes a HUGE toll on us, and something that commonly happens is we blame ourselves. It is not your fault.

The best way is to try to put your self in their shoes, no one likes to be alone and if they found someone else try to be happy for they're happiness. Parents are always there for you and we should do the same for them.
