I don't know if I am allowed to post here but I need some kind of support. My parents told my sister and I that they are separated as of tonight. I knew it was coming because after my brothers death, my parents relationship changed drastically and they just were clashing way more than ever.

My father has been really cold towards me. Mainly because of my chronic illness, so he distances himself. My mom has hated that, and she is growing tired of it. They aren't romantic at all anymore. My mom said "if anything, he's my best friend. Nothing more.".

My parents will still be living together. My dad is getting the guest room so he can continue his dialysis here. I just don't know how to feel? I almost laughed when she told us, knowing that this was coming, but knowing it was coming possibly made it worse.

My mind and body has had enough of changes. Everything is going so terribly wrong that I can't make any sense of it all and I need to worry about my little sister now even more. I am drained, though. I can't keep protecting everyone.
