You're dad doesn't need to pull you into this. This is a mess, but it is not your mess. He DESPERATELY needs to go to couseling and learn how to deal with this. Feel free to tell your Dad that this is all everybit as hard for you as it is for him and that him pressuring you is only making it worse.
I am so sorry that your mom found someone else. I know how horrible this must be for you! Does your dad have brothers or sisters? Find someone that can talk him into going to family counseling with you so that y'all learn how to work on this together.
Good luck..I'm so sorry.

At a time when everything seems to be falling apart, you have to be strong. You need to tell your father this isn't your fault, and he needs to step up and deal with his own problems. Make sure he knows you're willing to talk to him, still love him, all those good family things, but you are not the cause of these problems. My dad has tendencies to do the same thing, but you just have to be assertive about the situation.

there is no way your parents problems are your fault, just try and always remember that. think to yourself what did you do anyway? This whole thing is your parents fault they probably would have split up whether you were there or not. Just hope that things will work out fo them in the end. By the way, did you tell your mom how you feel about your dad putting pressure on you or does she even know? Maybe you should talk to her.

Aww... thats really sad. I suggest try to do something to take your mind off it. Play a game, take a sport, go somewhere with your friends. Eventually it probably wont seem as important as it does now and maybe then your parents might mature a bit and realize they have a child and their first job as far as love is to take care of you before considering themselves. Dont let their selfishness effect you. Stay strong hun! I wish you luck.
