How did I end up here?

Maybe you feel like your life used to be normal, and now everything is a mess.

Your parents might have been fighting for a long time, or maybe the divorce came out of nowhere. Either way, it’s okay to feel confused, angry, sad, or even relieved.

The Big Question:

*Was there something I could’ve done to stop this?*

Short answer? No. Divorce is a decision made by your parents.

It’s not your fault, and it’s not your responsibility to fix their problems.

Instead of dwelling on the past, focus on moving forward. Your emotions are valid, but you don’t have to let them control your life.

Try This: Write down the emotions you feel most often. Angry? Anxious? Lonely? Understanding what you’re feeling is the first step to managing it.
