Perhaps your parents are going through or have been through a divorce or separation. This can be a very confusing and upsetting time and you may feel scared and confused. You may feel guilty or responsible for the break up of your parents or stuck in the middle of their arguments.

Your parent's break up may have happened in the past and is affecting your relationships now. In this case, it may help to talk to a counsellor.

You are not alone as nearly half of all marriages end in divorce. It might help to talk openly with your parents and confide in a friend or other family member.
