The Turning Point
Was the moment you realised your parents weren’t together dramatic, carefully managed or a slow realisation? Maybe it’s never been openly discussed?
Whatever happened, it marks a big change in your life. We’ve collected below to help you through this turning point.
It’s totally okay if you’re feeling a mix of emotions right now — it can be a lot to handle. But simply noticing and naming what you’re feeling is a big first step toward feeling calmer and more like yourself again.
We’ve put together a downloadable resource to help you figure out what’s going on inside and start working through those feelings.
Talking about how you feel can really help you feel less alone — even though opening up isn’t always easy. Keep spending time with your friends and loved ones and look for opportunities to talk to people you trust about what’s happening.
We’ve made a downloadable resource with simple tips to help you start good, honest conversations when you’re ready.
Your Voice Matters
Your parents’ breakup might be bringing a lot of changes – and it’s okay if you feel angry, sad, or unsure about how to talk to them. You might want to protect them or avoid being a burden, but your parents do want to hear from you. They can’t always guess how you’re feeling, so it helps if you start the conversation.
This handout – written by young people for parents – can make that easier. You can send them the link or download it to share.
