When Your Parents Live Apart Your relationship to each of your parents is separate and special. It is okay to say, “I don’t want to talk about it,” if one of your parents asks you about your other parent. It is important to tell your parent, counselor, or an adult you trust about anything that hurts, confuses, or bothers you, even when it is dad or mom you have to talk about. It is not a parent’s business to know anything about the other parent’s life when they are no longer together.
