Is any of your friends parents divorced? Or do you know any one who parents are? Try talking to them about it. I hope i helped <3 [ NicOlex310x's advice column | Ask NicOlex310x A Question ]

S_C answered Monday October 11 2004, 9:52 pm: Yeah, I remember moving from NY, here to NC. It felt unbelievable. It was so odd to realize that you're going to be in a new house, that you will live near different people, and that you will have different friends.
Well, since you are sad, one day at school, or for a week at school or so, act like you feel, act sad, then they'll ask whats up, and tell them that you have to move.
It's going to be hard on you and them, and though you will want to keep in touch (depending on how far away you move) it's going to be hard. I'm still in touch with a few friends, but not many.
It's normal to feel that way, for the first month or so, I wanted to move back so badly, I behaved so weird. [ S_C's advice column | Ask S_C A Question ]
xokaylanicoleox answered Monday October 11 2004, 9:36 pm: yeah it is normal bc what happening is reality and you dont want it to be ... you want everything to be the way it was before but it wont ever be like that again. divorce sucks adn it sucks that they are doing that to you but youll just have to deal ... my parents are divorced .. theyve been divorced since i was 3 so i really dont know anything else and im sure its really hard on you and it will suck but it will be ok in the end. i hope i helped! -kayla
ps. just ask your friends for support while this is going on and tell them how you feel about it .. i promise they will be there for you all the way and whenever you need it ... after all thats what friends are for right? [ xokaylanicoleox's advice column | Ask xokaylanicoleox A Question ]
Hopes_Firefly answered Monday October 11 2004, 9:29 pm: Yes it is completely normal to feel like it isn't happening. It is a lot to take in. Tell your friends who you really trust first. Then when it comes closer to the time you can tell more people. But talk to your really good friends, they'll help you. [ Hopes_Firefly's advice column | Ask Hopes_Firefly A Question ]
