"Once the divorce is over things will be okay."
So how soon is soon?
My parents are still divorcing and have been at it for over a year and a half. At the beginning, I thought it would be over in a few months, but it has dragged on. So, whether your parents' divorce is short or long, here's some tips to help on the way:
1. Keep looking towards the light at the end of the tunnel.
It can't go on forever. Just remember that their divorce will be over eventually.
2. Don't be afraid to tell others your feelings.
Divorce may seem like a lonely place to be, but, believe it or not, divorce is quite common. Talk about how it makes you feel if it helps.
3. Don't think about how long your parents have been divorcing.
Instead, think of how much closer the end is.
4. Your life is not divided into before and after.
Sometimes, it's easy for us to use statements like:
"Before the divorce..."
"Ever since the divorce started..."
Just have a positive attitude, this is life, not before and after.
These are just four tips to pass the time. I didn't want to be repetitive, but you'll find that many of my other posts will help with this, too.
