Parents make mistakes too

Remember, when parents first separate they are often sad, angry and scared. Just like you. Sometimes they don’t get things right. But it is still their job to let you be a kid and to keep adult problems between adults. 

If it keeps happening even after you talk to them, try reaching out for help from another adult you trust.

In case of emergency

Practice knowing your address and parents’ full names in case of emergency.

If someone is hurting you or someone else

Tell a grown-up who is safe, like a parent, teacher, or another family member if someone is hurting you or someone else. Call 911 (or your local police if 911 is not available) if someone is in danger.
