When Parents Part - Case Studies

"I don't exactly remember, I was four or three when they divorced. But I think I was feeling a bit down and like 'this shouldn't have happened' and I felt like I needed to be the man of the house. It's been a bit busy but now I feel that it has kind of changed my life in a better, rather than a worse way. Most of my friends have got parents who have split up. We don't really think about it. If a friend said, 'I am feeling sad', then we would talk about it and just have a big conversation."
