Depressed

Talk to your parents about your distress and ask them to help you through this. Just because they no longer love each other does not mean that they do not love you. Jane

My parents got divorced when I was younger too. I talked to my friends and the guidance counselor at my school, I found it helped a ton to express what I was feeling. Hope everything gets better. Audrey

Go talk to your guidance counselor at school and see if they can help you to work through all of your issues. Good luck!

Talk to each of your parents individually about how you are feeling. They will reassure you that they will love you no matter what. Ask them if maybe they can get you in to see a therapist -- it will help a lot! Jess

Everyone has periods of sadness in their life but when the sadness is overwhelming, it needs to be addressed and it sounds like that is what is happening to you. Start with your school therapist. You need to realize that you are not responsible for your parents splitting up. There is nothing you can do to keep them together. You didn't cause it and you can't fix it. Unfortunately, kids are usually the victims of divorce more-so than the people actually getting the divorce. Too bad your parents can't see that. A therapist will help but you have to want to get past this, yourself. Yes, talk to your best friends. And your brother and sister. Not for pity, but for support. Try to emerge from this a stronger person, not a weaker one. Keep positive. You can do this. VOE
