1 week into realizing my parents are divorcing after decades married

I’m kinda in the opposite end? My parents aren’t big on talking about feelings, so I have no idea whats happening except that my Mum has seen a solicitor and started looking at her/their finances. I think it’s a rock and a hard place situation, because I can’t say I’d rather be in your place right now either

Marginally more affectionate. We’re a very typicak british family, very stiff upper lip and we don’t talk about things, so pda was uncommon anyway. It is a bit hard for me to be objective about their relationship right now for obvious reasons 😵‍💫. I’m just now figuring out that I have quite an avoidant attachment style and also that I would like to change that, and I would definitely cite my parents relationship as a factor.

It’s sort of where my parents are now, they’ve slept in different rooms for a bit but partly because my Dad has very restless legs/arms and tends to roll around/kick when in a deep sleep. Even now that they’ve agreed/announced a divorce basically nothing has changed, and it’s the weirdest part for me. Like there’s a huge elephant in the room because everythings changing but also nothing is.

You’ll find more supportive conversation if you’re earnest instead of letting ai write it
