Ask Billie: “My parents are getting divorced, and I’m devastated. How do I cope?”

Divorce at any age isn’t easy to navigate. But what happens when your parents split up as an adult? Stylist columnist Billie Bhatia weighs in on the breaking up of a family unit. 

My parents have just told me and my brother that they’re getting divorced. We don’t live at home any more, so it probably shouldn’t be affecting me as much as it is, but I’m so upset. I never imagined this could happen. I love going home for Christmas and we still take holidays together – I feel so sad this will never happen again.
