Dear Upset Kid,
Divorce is never easy when you're a child. It was especially hard when I was a kid. I was eight when my parents decided to get a divoce and I felt like my world was going to fall apart. I thought my family was so close and then suddenly they want a divorce. You see, my parents had the most romantic story. They fell in love against their parents wishes. My mom snuck out one night and they eloped and were so happy. They had me and everything was great... or so I thought. What you have to remember, even though a lot of people have probably told you this, is that it is not your fault in any way. People do this, they fall in love and sometimes it just doesn't work out. And while there is a small chance they could work it out, don't get your hopes up because you'll most likely be let down. It's important to know that you want your parents to be happy and them splitting up is making them happy. I know how it feels to sit around watching them split apart and knowing there's nothing you can do. All there is that you can do is be there for support. It will be hard and you may feel like you can't do it but what you have to remember is that time moves on. And i'm sorry to say that it may not get any easier. If they do divorce, they might start dating other people... it could be years from now or maybe even months. It depends on when they're ready. And when they are, remember it's what makes them happy. But don't be afraid to speak your mind if it gets too weird for you.
This is going to be very hard for you, so don't be afraid to ask your parents to talk to you, to let them know how you feel. I Hope this helped.
