My parents are getting a divorce and I am scared because my mom only makes 270.00 a month and we have to move out of our house since we rent and it's 650.00 a month so we have to move in with my mom's parents. I am really scared right now. Can you help me to cope right now

TEEN LINE WROTE:
Hey,

Thanks for reachign out to TEEN LINE.
It sounds like you are going through something difficult, yet happening to a lot of teenagers.
I understand that money is big problem for your family and i am so sorry to hear this.

I notice that you are 14 years old and it is a heavy load of responsibility for you to cope with.

You mentioned that your parents are going through a divorce.
That must have been such a shock to
you.
How are you dealing with that?
Even if it is a totally new and probably not the most comfortable situation to move in with your grandparents - how do you get along with them?

How do you usually cope with tough situations?
Have you tried to talk to someone about this- maybe your mom, a close friend?
Do you have siblings that you can talk to?

At this young age, dealing with situations are not easy. Seeking therapist might be a good idea.
