Ok my family is falling apart, we used to be so close and do everything together but my dad got a new job he know works up in london.

He has to get the traing up there every morning which means he is out the hosue by 6:30 before i get up. He then gets home at around 7:30. I dont get to se him or speak to him much but he is the most important person in my life we used to do everything together. My mum about a month ago told us about an affair she had been having for the ast 9 years with a family friend which hurt, she now seems to be falling apart she is crying alot, like every night and although my parents stayed together, its no the same. The time we should have together is spent either cheering my mum up and doing all the work round the house or looking after my little brother making him dinner and doing his homework as mums upset and dads at work. He also works away alot which means hes away for a week then away again in another two weeks for a week. I miss him alot wen hes away and i dont know what to do about it all, im only 15 and im having to look after my little brother, manage without a dad most of the time and sort out my mum from all her problems. What should i do

look..there is no age for growing up and standing up for your family you just gotta be the rock of the house….i think you gotta talk to your mom and if you truly forgive her let her know that….and always take care of your little brother cuz from wht you are sayin he got no body else so you gotta be there for him…..and i think that your father needs time to heal just let him take his time and hopefully everything is gonna be alri8……anyway hope it will help you and what you are doing is a sort of the basic definition of a stand up person (hero) whn bad things happend he gets up and start solveing the problems….
