Relieved

I feel relieved
’At last the house is going to be quiet! I am so fed up with my mum bursting into tears every five minutes and dad going to the pub all the time. They have been cross with me, too. I think they will be so much better living in two different houses. And they will have more time for me. You never know, they might turn into nice people again!’
Katie, 11

Some children feel relieved that their parents are splitting up. It may mean an end to the horrible atmosphere at home. It could mean no more parents shouting, throwing things at each other, or sulking.

It is good to be honest to yourself and to other people about how you feel. Well done!

Talk magic
It will help a lot to talk to someone about feeling relieved. (Mum, Dad, a friend, anyone close to you).

Remember, it’s not your fault.
