Why?


Usually, parents try very hard to solve their problems before they decide to separate or divorce. It’s not an easy decision.

Everyone has their own reasons for deciding not to live together.

Sometimes, they just can’t get along anymore. Maybe one of them has changed, or both have changed, or they’ve just grown apart. They can’t agree on anything, and maybe they argue a lot.

This might have happened to you before.

Maybe you and a good friend just got interested in different things, and it didn’t feel the same anymore.

Or maybe you still liked each other, but you always had big fights, and so you decided to stay away from each other.

If your parents have decided not to live together anymore, there are some very important things you need to know.
