Children
New people?
New people in your life
When parents split up and live apart, they often start to see new people.
These new friends could then become a boyfriend or a girlfriend. Don't
worry. You are still loved and cared for. It could be normal to say
you don't want to meet these people but you should give them a chance.
If your mum or dad like them a lot, then you should give them a chance.
You may like them too.
New children
Sometimes, when your mum or dad has a new boyfriend or girlfriend, they
may already have children of their own. Again, do give them a chance.
It might be good to meet new friends and share things. Do talk to your
parents if you are having problems with this.
