You don’t have to deal with this on your own. Try talking to someone you trust – like a parent, teacher, or close friend. Lots of people find it awkward to start talking, but once you do, it often feels like a big relief.
Think of a person you trust, find a calm time to chat, and tell them you need a bit of help. Check out How to have a good conversation and Conversation Starters for some tips.
You are not alone! Meet others your own age whose parents have separated by joining one of our FREE online workshops.
If you or someone else is in immediate danger, or if you feel unsafe, please dial 999.
You don’t have to figure this out by yourself. Try talking to a parent, family member, teacher, counsellor or close friend. Don’t give up if it feels awkward to start with, watch the video to hear how talking has helped others.
Join Your Direction our FREE, five-week course for young people whose parents are separated. You’ll learn tools that really help and be supported by people who’ve been there too.
