Thanks, googley. I haven't really talked about it to people at uni because it's not exactly the easiest thing to bring up in conversation, but my boyfriend knows (he was there when my dad phoned to tell me, and my boyfriend has also told his family who have been great about it) and so do a couple of my friends from home. Actually, other than my boyfriend I don't know anyone whose parents are divorced, I don't have a particularly large group of friends. Sorry you've had these sorts of problems with your parents too, that sucks. I'm hoping Christmas won't be too bad, but it will certainly be weird the first time. I'm 21, so you're right at least I do have a level of control there, plus I can afford to go visit mum when she moves - she'll be a 7-hour train journey away. Thanks, I hope so too. I keep thinking of all the things that won't be the same any more.
