Parents Might Be Spliting Up

[NzForever]

Well my mum might be splinting up with my step dad, but I consider him just a dad. Since my dad was never there for me.

Well here's the story. We live at my dads house, just me, my mum and the pets. My mum owns another house, but she rents that out.

Today my mum said to me "Im not happy living out here, our relationship isn't going that well. We might move back to our old house for a couple of mouths and then sell it, and then buy a new house"
So basically she told me. We might be moving out, selling the house and buying a new house.

About this buying a new house thing. I actualy like the idea of getting a new house, but I don't want my parents to split up.

My mum said she will try work things about. My mums getting annoyed of him, because he hasn't been treating her well.

My Dad, doesn't thank my mum for dinner and after he gambles(and loses) He always gets mad at my mum. So part of this has to do with gambling. He ain't a chronic gambler, but he does it and well he loses he gets mad.

Please help, I don't want them to split up, but Im not sure whats going to happen.

There's nothing I can do to help. If they're going to split up then its going to happen and nothing's gonna change that.

The only help I can give is encouragement and dude, I was in the exact same situation.

Well. Almost. My dad died when I was young and my mom remarried. But she divorced my step dad. He's a really nice guy and I just call him my dad. I text him a lot lately. He's a psychologist. I don't feel I fit here at home.

So in a lot of ways it's the same for me. But all you can do is try and stay strong. People break up and it's sad but it has nothing to do with you. And it doesn't mean you're gonna be messed up either.

The thing for me, and maybe for you I guess, is I feel isolated. I'm very withdrawn now. But things will get better.

That's all I can offer you. Try to be strong. And trust me. Eventually things wil get better.
