I am 24 years old, normally away at university however currently at home for a few weeks. Details are a bit fussy but came home one day to find my dad has left, my parents have seperated. I dont currently know where my dad is staying, I'm staying at home with my mum. My brother and the rest of the family dont know yet.

My dad is refusing to talk to my mum about what is happening, so currently they've seperated and apparently it looks permanent. I'm torn because on the one hand they have done this kind of thing a few times before (albeit not taken it as far) but my dad has left his wedding ring and is not attending my graduation in 2 weeks. So this seems kind of serious/final.

I've just been completely blindsided by this, things werent always fantastic growing up but I thought things were the best they'd been in years. I feel so very alone, sad and disappointed. Its the superficial things that are really upsetting me, will they sell my childhood home? What will happen to our pets? Where will we go for holidays?

And I dont want either of my parents to be alone, with both me and my brother out of the house I'm very worried my mum particularly will be lonely and depressed. She has been very family centred, doesnt have many friends. But my dad has already accused me of taking her side.t

Im absolutely devastated and feel so alone. I'm an adult now, I feel I probably should be able to handle this better but I'm not.
