My parents are on the edge of getting a divorce, I’m about to go off to college, and a few of my friends are fighting with each other. I don’t know what to do it just feels like my life is going down hill minus the college thing. If my parents get a divorce that means I loose all of my pets, my three dogs, two cats, and two birds. I don’t think I will be able to carry on if I loose my pets while all this is going on. They are the only creatures I can talk to and be myself around without worrying about being judged. yeah I have great friends that I could do the same with but as stated above they are fighting among themselves. I just really don’t know what to do, I know that non of this is my fault, but that doesn’t change the fact that I want to do something to prevent it.
well, just hanging out with your friends individually…
You have three options if you are unsarisfied with your life situation.
1. Acceptance
2. Change via your own actions.
3. Remove yourself from the situation.
You should always try 1 and 2 before 3. Of all of these options #2 is the most powerful but also the most difficult to execute. #1 reduces the pain of complaining and being unsatisfied. #3 is a form of avoidance which is also perfectly fine as long as you understand the circumstances that will come from however you decide to do this.
