If your parents have split up, you might be feeling as though your family has simply ended: it's over. But it's not. Your family is just changing.

Think about it. There are many different kinds of families. The family with two parents and some kids who live together in one home is just one kind of family. You probably know people from quite a few different types of family.

Another important thing to remember is that families aren't just about who lives with whom, and where. Families are about people loving and caring for each other, regardless of what form they take.
