Parents splitting up.

See journal entry for details. Well read it up to "SAD BUT BETTER FOR US IN THE LONG RUN NEWS OVER" as the rest is irrelevant.

I think they're gonna be living together (in different beds of course) for a while, but how does one deal with this kinda thing? I still don't think this has hit me fully yet as stuff these days doesn't really smack me senseless as it used to (blame slight psychic perception for that but whatever)

basically how does one alleviate feeling like bleh inside when this kinda thing happens?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Aw, that is very sad... Best wishes to you; I hope you're able to cope with the change and adjust quickly. It's so bizarre seeing parents estranged, and it can tear down your feelings of security.

My parents aren't divorced or anything, but they have their moments; I remember back when I was 10 and they almost separated and I was so confused--that stuff wasn't supposed to happen to ME!

I really hope the situation works out okay... Or at the very least, that you find peace.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Luckily my parents divorced when I was six. So I was able to get over it pretty quickly. Though I would suggest finding a hobby. Learn a new instrument, take up writing, whatever. Anything simple, anything you're passionate about. Should help. Not completely, but better than nothing.

If you start feeling really bad about it, you might want to check out a councilor too. Assuming it affects you that much.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I have alot of empathy to what your going through, to an extent. My parents divorced my second year of high school, right during finals week to be exact. They resented each other alot, and needless to say, things ended pretty abruptly after 20 some-odd years of marriage. Though, they are both pretty non-confrontational people, so lots of the problems within the marriage really got pushed to the wayside. My dad worked 40 hours a week, and umpired during the weekends. Here in Florida, the heat index can get daunting, so I am deeply grateful to him, even though I never got to see him, and for that matter, still don't.

It didn't really hit me until about a year later, and I got really depressed and the like. I flunked out of the Catholic school I was going to at the time, and I couldn't fix that by the time I snapped out of things in May.

Anyway, the best recommendation I can give to you is to talk to your parents, depending on the relationships you current have with them. If you're ever bothered by something, the best thing you can do is talk to someone, especially in this situation. Hope things get better for you.

How ya doing, buddy?
