You do not have to handle every worry on your own. In Sweden, you can talk to a safe adult, contact Bris or use another youth support service about what your parents’ separation is like for you.

A safe teacher, school counsellor, relative or healthcare professional can listen. You could say, “Things at home are changing and I want to talk.”
You do not need to know exactly how you feel or choose a parent’s side.
Bris supports children under 18. Its current service information describes round-the-clock contact with trained counsellors. The website explains phone and online options.
You can ask how private the conversation is before talking about something difficult.
UMO is a youth information website about health, relationships and life. It can help you understand a worry and find information about local youth clinics.
The website is not itself a clinic. Local clinics have their own ages, hours and ways to get in touch.
The Swedish Red Cross Youth runs this free anonymous chat for young people up to age 25. Volunteers are young people, not psychologists. Chat is available in Swedish and English.
Its website shows current hours. It can be a place to talk, but it does not replace professional treatment.
Tell a safe adult who can help contact healthcare or social services. Immediate danger needs emergency help rather than waiting for a chat to open.
You are not responsible for gathering evidence or solving the adults’ conflict.
This guide explains general rules and services. It does not assess your individual case.
