How Do I Cope With So Many Changes?

When your parents separate, it can feel like your whole world is turned upside down. There are lots of changes to get used to, and it’s okay to feel overwhelmed.

New Routines

One of the biggest changes is your daily routine. You might move to a new home, change schools, or have different people looking after you. This can be confusing and upsetting, but with time, you’ll get used to it.

Money Matters

Your family’s finances might also change when your parents separate. This could mean less money to spend on things you enjoy, or changes to your allowance. It’s important to understand that this isn’t your fault, and your parents are doing their best to manage things.

Special Times

Holidays and special occasions can be tricky when your parents don’t live together. You might spend time with one parent one day and the other the next. It’s okay to feel sad or confused about this. Remember, your parents still love you and want to spend time with you.

It’s important to talk to your parents about how these changes make you feel. They want to help you adjust as best they can.
