I’m so sorry what you are going through. During my time with Focus on the Family, I’ve heard from quite a few young people who have faced similar challenges after their parents divorced, and I want to assure you that it’s natural to be confused – and even frustrated – about this matter.
I’m pleased to be able to share a few thoughts with you: The first think you need to know is that – you aren’t responsible for your parents’ divorce or the complex decisions you’re facing now. Still, it’s important to remember that God knows what you are going through, and He has promised to never leave you. He hurts when you hurt, and He wants to be your source of comfort, strength, and guidance during this stressful time. In addition, it would be a good idea for you to approach a caring friend. If there isn’t anyone nearby you feel comfortable talking to, I’d like to invite you to call and speak with one of their licensed counselors. All of them are committed therapists and very understanding people, who are there to listen, answer questions, etc; this service is free. Their telephone number is 1-855-771-HELP (4357), and their office is open from 6:00 A.M. to 8:00 P.M. (MT) Monday through Friday.
