So I'm coming here because I figure, since y'all aren't involved in my personal life, y'all are the best people to talk to! And I'm really just expressing some feelings here.
I found out today that my aunt is leaving my uncle -- which isn't surprising; they've been having problems for a while; my uncle suspected and has confirmed that she's been having an affair. However, what makes me upset is she's just walking out on her two kids (my little cousins who I really, really care about). I worry about the effect it's going to have on them; I know at least the older one has already been affected by her might as well be non-existent mother. And I just feel really, really bad for them. Kids need their mom and I don't even know what I would do if my mom left; she's my best friend. I've lost a lot of respect for my aunt and I'm really just very, very disappointed and upset about the way that turned out. I want to cry for my cousins because I know they deserve way better. They're really great kids and I can't stand the thought of knowing they're about to be crushed. I really kind of wish my parents hadn't told me this cause now I know I'm gonna be sad every time I see them -- they don't know yet, so it's not like I can comfort them about it cause they don't know. I really just don't know how to handle this.
