Parents behaving oddly
Sometimes parents who are splitting up behave in really odd ways.
Can you spot your mum and dad?
Click on the doors to see if any of these scenes are happening in your home:
Try to remember that your mum and dad are unhappy at the moment. Their feelings are all mixed up. They don’t always behave how you, or they, would like.
Although your parents may be in a bad mood, they still love you.
In some families parents behave badly. Some parents are violent and hurt their wife or husband. Children might also be hit, or feel scared because an adult or another child may be hurt. Find out more.
