My parents separated in September, and it has been downhill from there. The fighting and verbal whatnot is horrible. It feels like divorce is pending, but, regardless, I am stressed out of my mind. I want to think about college but all I can think about it the anxiety over being yelled at having to call out somebody’s BS. It looks like I want to go to University of Vermont, but with everything going on, I can’t catch a break to see if it feels right. Has anyone else had a similar experience? Any advice?
My D1 was in the middle of her college search when we divorced. Biggest issue is probably who will pay for it. You should talk to your parent (maybe separately if you need to) about this. If you haven’t visited, try to get one of them to take you. Looking forward, if they fight over dropping you off, suggest that one drop you off and the other come for parent’s weekend.
Also, my sympathies. It is hard to go through a big decision and change like going to college when your family is breaking apart, too.
