Thanks for taking the time to reach out to us today. Dealing with a divorce is not easy for any child to deal with, especially when they move on and marry someone else. The good thing about this is that you will become more comfortable with it over time. It may take a while to come around, and really like their new spouses. If they are nice people, that will make it even easier to get to like them more. Try to be as positive as you can when around them, and give them a chance to be a part of your life. Just because your parents are divorced, that does not mean that they do not love you the same. Be thankful that you still have your parents in your life, and that they have found someone to make them happy. If things are really uncomfortable for you, then talk with your parents about it. Let them know that you recognize that their new spouses are nice people, but it is going to take time to really like them. It is your parents job to help you feel comfortable, and to make sure you feel included in the family.
Do not be too hard on yourself for having these feelings. They are very common to have at first, and over time it will get better. Try to make the best of your time with your parents, and it will make things a lot easier on you. If you are patient, and give it time you will see things improve. We want to be there for you, and help you through this difficult transition. If you ever need to talk, then do not hesitate to reach out to us.
Best of luck,
Mandi, Counselor
