Hi Everybody,
When I was barely 6 years old, my parents got divorced as they were not getting along with each other. At present I am 15 years old, but still i haven't forgotten that incidence and seem to be in trauma of it. Could anyone answer me how can i get rid of this problem?
I will appreciate any information from your side.

Lightbulb Should i be over by it by now
Well, to answer your query, if your parents got divorced when you were younger, you may have gotten used to some of the changes. But , it is also possible that you may still have many strong feelings about the divorce, even though other people think you have gotten over it.
Thus, when you became a teenager, the visitation arrangements you have had may no longer work because now even you have your social or school activities. Therefore, it is very important to talk to your parents when you think it is time to change your arrangement, and try to work with them to figure out a new schedule that would fit your life as well as theirs.

It is perfectly normal to not be over the divorce of your parents. You might be 30 and still not get over it. I wouldnt worry.

My brother is 45 and he still isnt over out parents divorce. So i think it is normal. Some people take extra time to recover from any tragedic incidence.
I will suggest u to consult a psychiatrist as he will help u to recover from this tragedy.

Sometimes it is not possible to forget certain incidents in life. As a child certain things leave a lasting impression on your mind and you cannot do anything about it. Time may be a healer burt sometimes it fails to touch the deepest corner of our heart where we keep our deepest secrets. Secrets that only we know,. Secrets that will stay with us. Passage of time can only diminish the pain but cannot wipe it off completely.

It's true some don't really get over the divorce of their parents. But if it's affecting you to a point that you're becoming depressed, maybe you should see psychiatrist.

It's hard to get over the divorce of parents. I think the first thing to do is to accept yur situation and see how you can perhaps improve your own future. You cannot undo what happened. What you can only do is prepare yourself for the future. You are still young have a lot of years to live. Concentrate on your studies. Develop yourself into a fine and responsible person. Things can be better for you, you know. Don't get stuck with what happened to your family. You also have your own life. A few years from now you may also start a new family and you should be ready for it too.

I guess you just have to concentrate on the positive things on your life. Like still having them both, even if they are separated. I hope you still get to see both of your parents and have a close relationship with both of them. Or you can also consider trying out new things. You may get inteested in them and enjoy doing them. This will give you a good breather from the negative things you've experienced and felt.
