Recently my parents told me that since that they were having some problems coping up with each other, and that it is getting intolerable, so, they are planning to go in for a divorce. Ever since I got to know this, i've been feeling really upset all the time. Is this very normal ? please guide!!

Hi Vivian,
It is a tough time for u. I can understand your fillings. since, your parents have told you of their separation, thereby going in for a divorce, or if they are recently divorced, it is certainly very normal for you to be experiencing many different feelings altogether. Even if your parents were divorced a while ago, it is still very normal to have strong feelings about it since you are also a part of this happening. Therefore, Some common feelings or emotions that may be along with you are either shocked or surprised, Anxiety since, you might worry about what is going to happen to you and who will take care of you after the separation, there could be also a feeling of sadness and a feeling of loss; or anger , in the sense,- you may be angry at your parents or you may feel angry in general Fear - if one of your parents leaves, you may be afraid of losing your other parent. Incase if you are having guilt , then you may feel like it's your fault that your parents split up; also if you have loneliness then you may feel that you have no one to talk to or you are left alone or that no one understands what you are going through. Also if you are worried - you may worry about your own ability to have a good relationship or marriage in the future . So usually all of these feelings are very normal part of coping with all of the changes in your family life, but if you feel that these feelings are making you feel besieged and bad most of the time, then it would be best for you to have a talk with your parents, a trusted adult, or a friend. Since, there are many teenagers who are going through a family divorce find it helpful to talk with a counselor or therapist too. Last edited by tina : 11-17-2005 at 04:25 PM. |

Yes this is very normal. A divorce of their parents can be very distressing. Having to decide which parent to live with and the possibility of moving can be very hard. I can understand your feeling well as i myself is a victim of this entire situation. When my parent’s become apart I am really used to think a lot about it. But u can't do anything to avoid this. But don't bother about this as things will become normal after few days. Last edited by tina : 11-17-2005 at 04:32 PM. |

Well, this is very normal and i agree with you all, as lots of families are going through these kind of parental seperation problems. it will surely take sometime for you to digest but all will become normal in sometime. Time will make up for the losses.

during a divorce, children are most affected...so it's normal to feel this way...there will be a lot of changes that will occur...but you'll be able to adjust as time goes by...just give it some time and hopefully you'll be fine...
