So today I received some upsetting news, my older sister and her husband of almost 6 yrs are splitting up. My sister has talked of divorce before but i guess no one thought of it seriously, i mean shit its a semi new marriage and everyone has their problems. So now I just heard from my family that they are staying in different houses and that my sister is very unhappy and wants a divorce. I guess I would have no problem with it if they didnt have 2 kids involved. my niece is 6 and my nephew is 4, and i cant imagine how they are going to react to this. I might sound naive and i probably seem that way, but i come from a family that has no divorce history in it. my parents are still together, my grandparents from both sides are or were together forever, and i guess i just dont know how to react. my sister is one person that has always had my back, she was the first in my family to know that i was gay. she has always been very supportive of me and i dont see how i can look at her and say HI YOU ARE FUCKING UP. so i guess i am at the point that i just have to sit and support her no matter what she decides and no matter what my opinion is about it. I am just very upset that the kids have to go through this. i dont know i just love those kids. so ok guys i dont know how to feel about this. i am very upset, but at the same time i dont know if i should be. I just dont know how to react to all of this because i have never been around something like this. I guess i dont feel like i can say anything because, as some of you know, i tend to fuck up great relationships. I know that they have their problems but i dont see ending it all. so here is me being upset/opening up/asking for help.
