Moved+Parents Divorce

B ballboy89Member
Hey everyone. A couple of years ago after I graduated high school I moved with my family to another state about 8 hours from where I used to live, leaving all of my friends behind. I go to college about 3 hours away from here and my friends from college mostly all live in that area. So being that I did not attend high school here, I really don't know anyone my age that lives around me. Anytime I wanted to do something exciting with my life my dad would always be the one that was there to do it with me. I just recently came to find out that my parents are now getting a divorce and my dad will be moving out. I felt extremely lonely before this and after finding out that the one person who was actually there to do things with me isn't going to be there anymore, I feel much more lonely and have no idea what to do. Any advice from anyone would be so nice..thank you

Dear Ballboy89, It is difficult to move away from your childhood friends and on top of that to have to adjust to being away at college. Do any of your friends from college invite you home for weekends? That is an extra way of bonding with new friends. About your Mom and Dad,sorry...no matter when divorce occurs, it is hard. You think you are mature and then you are blindsided with this news. Wherever your Father moves to, can you live with him when you are away from college? Do remember that your Mom probably is hurting, too. My last comment is maybe you can take on an extra job or volunteer work for the summer break...that is a great place to meet friends. Keep your chin up. Luna

Get psychotherapy help to make your therapy easier and better.



Yes, I've learned about all the benefits of being a Patron Member (Click here if you missed seeing them: Community Psychotherapy Help

Yes, I understand that...

1. I can do a 7 day free trial and my credit card will not be charged until that period is up.

2. I can cancel at any time before then and my card will not be charged.

3. That once my credit card is charged, there is no refund offered.

Have a special coupon?

4. If I'm using a coupon my receipt won't show the discounted amount (It'll show $7.95). However, I understand that it will go through as $2.95 when I am billed after the 7 day trial. (According to the current promotion, this discount applies to the first three months of my membership - and as long as I use the coupon in the checkout.)*

*Please note that after the 3 months, billing will revert to the regular monthly fee.
**The fee posted below is our standard billing fee (ie. using no coupon).

7-Day Free Trial, then $7.95 per Month (plus tax if applicable)
