Divorce drama can cause a ton of stress. If you feel like your brain never shuts off, or your stomach is in knots, you’re not alone.

Sometimes parents try to use their kids as messengers or even weapons against each other.

It’s unfair, and it puts you in an awkward position.

Signs You’re Being Put in the Middle:

  • A parent asks you to spy on the other

  • They make you deliver mean messages

  • They guilt-trip you for spending time with the other parent

💡 How to Handle It:

  • Set boundaries: “I don’t want to be in the middle of this.”

  • Refuse to pass messages—let them communicate directly

  • Talk to a trusted adult if it gets overwhelming
