This is very complicated, so hang in there. I was unofficially “adopted” by my family when I was 18/19. I’m 20 now. Since coming around, my little “sister” has always looked up to me. She views me as her older sister and best friend, but consistently comes to me for motherly advice too. She’s 12, almost 13. Most people think we are the same age because she’s very mature, well spoken, intelligent, and overly sassy😂🙄. Her parents are not getting along. They hardly speak, and divorce is talked about often. Her mom doesn’t want one, but her dad does, and for very good reasons. She’s an only child so she would stay living with her mom because her dad doesn’t want to hurt her mom, but she’s the epitome of a daddy’s girl. She knows divorce is being talked about, and she sees how her parents are. Her dad always spends time with her, talks to her, makes an attempt to learn things she likes even when he hates them, but her mom does none of those things. She’s asked me “is it worse to have divorced parents or to know they fight all the time?” She asked me this because my bio parents are divorced. I guess my point in this post is how can I help? How do I respond? She knows the basic reasons this is happening, but I don’t want to place blame on either parent. Should I take her from the house more? Should I just let her talk and not respond? Any advice would help. I’ve been through this but it wasn’t the same.i can provide additional details if they’re relevant via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2DEy8ig
