“I recently found out that my father is having an affair.
I confronted him, and he asked me not to tell my mother. I feel like I have a responsibility
to look out for my mother's best interests. But if I tell her, she'll be heart-broken,
and my father will blame me. Am I supposed to pretend that everything is okay when it's not?
I feel like I really need to talk to someone about this. I don't know what I'm supposed to do,
and I can't focus on school when I'm so worried about my parents. Can someone at SCRS help me?”
WHAT SCRS CAN DO:
- give you a space in which you can talk about your feelings of anger and confusion
- help you figure out what your role should be in this difficult situation
