How to Cope through Struggling Times
[Music]
anger
sadness was it my fault
these are a few common emotions to feel
dirt
during and after divorce you may think
that it’s just the parents going through
the pain
if you do i’m sorry to tell you that you
are mistaken
it can be very painful to only be able
to be with one parent at a time
my brother and i felt the same feelings
anger and sadness
i expressed my feelings by crying and
having little fits
my brother on the other hand yelled and
broke stuff
sentimentos the difference
when i found out about the divorce i had
so many questions
like who was i going to live with were
we going to move
change schools where will we spend the
holidays
as you can see i felt lost but i had
support
for me what helped the most was talking
to people like my parents
non-immediate family members my friends
and our school counselor
si no fuera por esas personas
to cope with the divorce i first
addressed how how i was feeling
and try to understand my situation
for example
then i tried to cope with my feelings by
talking with those people
finally i recognized that living in two
homes isn’t that bad
in fact it is good because it introduces
new family members
by doing these things i could proudly
say i survived my parents divorce
but i know other kids my age are
probably struggling with the change i
felt
so quiet
alive
number one don’t bury your feelings what
i mean by that
is open up to other people
don’t be ashamed to cry i was a little
scared to cry in front of my friends but
when i did cry in front of them
they comforted me
remember you are not alone i’m here for
you
we all are here for you
