Caught in the middle

If you are feeling caught in the middle:

	Tell them they need to work out their problems themselves. It's not your job.
	Tell them you love them both, and you will not choose one over the other.
	Don't get involved in your parents' arguments. If they are arguing in front of you, walk away.

If it's too hard for you to say things like this directly to your parents, try writing them in a letter.

However you choose to do it, being able to talk to your parents about your feelings and to be clear about your needs will be useful skills as you face the changes and challenges that lie ahead.
