8. Keep living your life

Sometimes a divorce can make you feel like you have to put your life on hold to deal with your parents’ problems – but you need to live your life. Do what you love to do and if you need support,

lean on your friends, other family members, and trusted adults. The

fact of the matter is that

you are an innocent bystander, experiencing a tragedy to those

closest to you. You cannot

experience this without it

having a profound

impact on your life.
