Many children grow up in homes without their two birth parents living together. This has made life more difficult for children. It is important to remember whatever your family situation you as a child did not cause the problems of your parents. Many children blame themselves for their parents not being together. It is not your fault. You did not cause your parents to fight, separate, or divorce. Respect the people who care for you. If you need help because of your family situation, get support and help from a caring adult, a guidance counselor, psychologist or a relative.
