Children from homes where parents have separated or are facing a rocky marriage may experience a range of feelings including sadness and loss as they may mourn the loss of their family structure, which can lead to feelings of grief. Children may feel angry about the situation or towards their parents, especially if they feel abandoned or betrayed. Many children struggle to understand why their family is changing, which can create confusion and uncertainty. Sometimes they might feel responsible for the breakup or believe that they could have done something to prevent it. Changes in their living situation can lead to feelings of insecurity and fear about the future.
