My parents divorced when I was a senior in high school. My primary advice is to allow yourself time to feel what you feel. Cry if you want to. Grieve over the loss you feel. I also agree with those who say not to allow your parents to put you in the middle. In my case it was mostly my dad always asking for every detail of my mom's personal life. I had to tell dad that I wasn't going to talk to him about mom.

Well, I was glad because I knew it meant that they wouldn't be around each other very much longer, and they wouldn't fight so much, and if they did I wouldn't be exposed to it.

I had to go through that at 35, It was hard, cause my parents wanted to talk to me about each other!! what a stressful time. i had to step back and look at them as people and not my parents. I had to realise this was between them. I told both of them I didnt want to know personal stuff about the other. I sat with both of them and listened and supported them. All I wanted was for both of them to be happy , and they are now and thats all that matters. i do wish they had done it a long time ago as I felt most of my life had been a lie, but hey, who cares! life is so short you got to live it the way you want to!
