    So while lately i've been feeling really lonely and a bit down my parents have just announced they're splitting up (on okay terms if you know what i mean) but i cant help but feel almost abandoned. I only moved out to uni a month ago and thats hard enough anyway, having to leave all your friends and family and now this? it's like an added pressure to all the normal stuff i have to deal with anyway, i dont know i dont even feel theres any point to this post i kinda just need to vent to somewhere. but if anyone has any advice on how to deal with parents splitting up it'd be much appreciated.
    Cheers.

    Focus on schoolwork and things that you can look forward to, so that you can power through it without directly confronting it and hurting yourself too much. Keep a private document/notebook where you write about your frustration. My parents separated when I was in middle school, and that is how I lived through it.

    Focus on other things like hobbies, vent in some way if you feel overwhelmed (there's many ways, singing, writing, music, art, etc).
    If they're on good terms it may not be easy but it's easier than it would be otherwise. My parents divorced when I was six or seven, unfortunately on worse terms but you know, determination is key to working through it.
