Positive things that might change

Even if you had a good time when your parents were together - there are some positives for parents and children after separation. At the beginning it can feel bad and difficult. That's normal at first. But maybe later good things will come from the change.

What are some positives?

1. You can still see, write or talk to both of your parents
2. There will be no more fighting between your parents in the home
3. You have two homes now
4. You can have two birthday and Christmas treats
5. You may make new friends if you change schools or neighbourhoods

Some good things will happen after your parents separation. However for a lot of people it takes some time before they see the positives. Things need to settle down first.
