Very rarely does anyone get to choose who to grow up with. And even if they do, no one can predict what it's going to be like! But no matter what, you're stuck with them for life. So how do you get past the tough stuff when it seems like you've already tried everything?
My Dad Is Lying |
My parents are divorced; they have been for a few years. I just found out some bad things that my dad did, like lying to me. I go to my mom's every weekend, and at my dad's I keep my feelings bottled up to the point that I feel like I'm going to burst on the weekend. My dad is accusing my mom of lying and things like that, when I know she's not! I can't keep my feelings bottled up forever! What should I do?

Dear SmartGirl,
How old is your brother? You two are just going through a phase. Don't get me wrong; he will always be annoying, but right now he's testing you.

Dear SmartGirl,
It's really unfair of your parents to do that, and putting you in the middle of their issues with each other! Make sure you talk to your parents about it individually and ask any questions you feel you need to ask, but be careful not to take any sides! Also, let them know that you really don't like being told the things they're saying and ask them to please stop putting you in the middle because it's getting you quite worked up!
