The New Normal

Has your parents’ split created lots of change in your life? Are you living in two homes, seeing less of one of your parents or not seeing one of them at all? Find resources to help you process your new normal.

Your parents’ separation can be really tough and might leave you feeling heartbroken too. You might not see one of your parents as much, or at all, and it’s normal to grieve the life you had before.

This article looks at ways to start healing and move through this difficult time.

It’s fairly common, if your parents have broken up, to divide your time between your Mum and Dad’s homes. Although this means you get to see both parents regularly it takes a bit of getting used to. This article has some top tips to help you adjust.

Your voice matters, and you have the right to be involved in decisions that affect your life. Talk to your parents about the options and what you would like to happen. This doesn’t mean you will have to be the one to decide, your parents still have that responsibility. And you might not get everything you want, but what you think is important.

This article explains your rights and how to make your voice heard.
