Parents are getting divorced. How do I deal with this!? :(?

Question

My mom just told me this morning that her and my dad are getting divorced. I'm one of four. My older brother just went back to school on Saturday and I have a little brother and sister. So now I'm the oldest of the house again. I don't know how to handle this at all. I don't want people knowing about it. I feel so bad for my little brother and sister. It's so hard for me to sit here and tell them that everything's going to be okay when I don't feel that way myself. I guess i gotta toughen up though and be strong for everyone, right? I don't know what to do. HELP!

Answer 1

It's hard for all involved when a family is seperated. Support each other and try not to take sides. I know it sounds cliche but time will heal. Don't let your parents divorce overtake your life, you still need to live yours. Good luck am sure you will be fine x

Answer 2

I am so sorry! I am 15 and my parents had a divorce 2 years ago. I am the oldest of my 3 siblings. It can be very scary, but remeber that it has nothing to do with you. Just act like a kid...and your parents will take care of the rest. I know its hard, since I always feel like I have enormouse responsibilities, but really the only thing I have is to make sure my siblings are ok. It will take forever for me to finish, so if you need anything please email me:
