When it’s too fucking late

[Icantremembermyusername]

I really want to phone my best mate and she’ll tell me it’s ok and that I can do it, but it’s too late. She’s asleep and I’m happy for her.
My mum left my dad today. It’s been brewing for a while.

Being a child of divorce is difficult, but the pain will get better with time. I'm sure your mum had her reasons.

Don't phone at this hour ,the situation will still be the same after breakfast time.

Hello Op .
It is kind of you to consider your best friend's sleep but don't be afraid to ring her if you are really struggling .
Why did your mum leave ?
Are you ok and in a safe place ?

Would you like to talk to us?

Why not write out what you want to say in a text message that you can send in the morning. Spending some time getting your thoughts down might help.

So. Sorry to hear that OP. Can I ask how old are you/ your DP? Helps know what age/ life stage you're all at. Are you mostly upset at your loss of parents that are together or worried about how they/your DF will manage now?
You'll all be ok with time and patience x

Can you post on here how your feeling OP until your fried is awake? She might be awake in a few hours. I’m sorry about your parents separation. I found my parents divorce (many years ago now) excruciatingly difficult and I was being pulled in every corner by parents, siblings and tensions were high for a while. It does start to get easier, as you start to understand reasons why it’s come to this. One day you’ll be in the same position as I am, although my dad has passed away since, they were both much happier separated and I only began to realise that more as an adult. If I can offer you anything - it’s your priority needs to be to protect your mental wellbeing from any toxic behaviours from either parent. You can shut down the conversation down if it’s triggering you or information you’re not ready to hear yet. I wish someone had told me it wasn’t my mental burden to bear.

How are you feeling? Did you manage to sleep?

I would also like to ask how old you are / what life stage you’re in approximately.

Having your parents divorce - no matter your age - is difficult. 💐
