 Sometimes, people are better apart.My friend's parents split up, because they argued over having my friend, but now (13 years later) they both have different lives and still see each other from time to time, without much arguing. My friend is moving to live with her dad away from her mum but her mum is always working so it is OK for her. Her Dad has a very pleasant girlfriend who spoils ally rotten! When people divorce, it is not because of their children, because they love their children more than you can love anything/one else, but because they cannot bare to love each other anymore. I hope you see through this difficult time,Jellyxxxx

 hey! aww hunny i wish i could just hug you right now! this is such a horrible thing for you to have to go through. i've never personally experienced it so i can only imagine what you are going through, but a lot of my friends have parents who are split, so i'll try and help you as best as i can! :) first of all have your parents actually mention that they are splitting? this could just be a rough patch that they are going through. when things get tough, parents start to argue more, but that doesn't necessarily mean they're heading for a divorce. you're parents may well think that you haven;t noticed whats going on, so maybe you could have a chat with them (or just your mum or your dad, whoever you feel most comfortable with.) explain that you know things have been hard recently and that consquently you've noticed that they've been arguing more, which is upsetting you. just tell them maturely what an effect this is having on you. don't sulk or start whinging, just calmly explain. good luck and update if you get anymore info and i'll be glad to try and help! hope this was helpful and if you ever want to talk, feel free to message me :) xxxxxx

 Don't worry, my parents split up when i was your age and although it was hard, i learnt to get over it and everything went ok and im sure it will be the same for you
Do you actually know that they're splitting up or are they just arguing?
And don't worry about the money problem because i'm sure they can get loans and things
Seriously though if you need any help or anything then mail me because i understand that it is hard and you do need to talk to people which is what i never did which made it harder
I'm sure everything will turn out ok
