Relationships

Hi, being pulled into an argument at home can leave you feeling completely stuck 💛

Their argument is between them, and it isn't your fault.

It's okay to love and support both of them without taking sides.

You could tell the parent who's stopped talking to you that you love them, you don't mean to be disrespectful and you aren't choosing sides 💕

If they aren't ready to talk yet, you could give them some space and try again later.

While things settle, focus on looking after yourself and doing things that help you feel better.

If you need someone to talk to, reach out to a friend or another trusted adult.

Take care of yourself 🫶
