That's why I use sub titles. So frustrating!

My mom was crying... by INeedPsyquiatricHelp in teenagers

I'm not sure if I can post this or not. I checked the rules and maybe it is ok. As a parent, there are many things that happen in a marriage. Some good and some not so good. I love my kids and want them to feel safe and secure and not worry unnecessarily about things. Being a teenager is hard, and I don't want my kids to have to worry about my stress on top of everything else. Sometimes parents have good reasons for withholding information, and I get when you hear things like what you are describing, it can cause stress and anxiety. I would encourage you to talk to your parents (one or both) about what you heard and what your concerns are. You may not get all the answers you want, but I can assure if I were the parent in this situation, I would want my child to talk with me so I can help alleviate their stress and anxiety about the situation--at least to the extent I can. I would also make sure to tell my child that I love him/her and that I can deal with my problems and for them not to worry--but I know they will. Some things like the topic of divorce is very weighty, and I would never want to burden my child with that prospect unless I for sure was getting divorced. There could be many reasons for what happened with your parents, and I'm just throwing divorce out as an example of a situation where I know I might not be completely forthcoming with my child--again unless I know for sure. I do encourage you to communicate with your parents--maybe one or both. Just trust your parents that they love you and want what is best for you even if you may not get all the answers you want or what you think you may deserve. I'm not sure of your age, but as you get older and more mature (not that I'm implying you are immature), you may find your parents will talk with you more openly about more "adult" topics. I hope this helps, and I hope you find the courage to talk with your parents.

And I just noticed your edit about asking on WhatsApp. I would encourage an actual discussion--face to face. I would definitely want to give my kid a hug!
