Parental divorce or separation can affect children in many ways.
Helen Mead of the Bradford Telegraph visited Relate Bradford which offers counselling for young people and family counselling to help youngsters through this difficult time.
When Julie, aged 15, first came to Relate for Young People, she felt rather lonely and depressed.
Julie's parents had divorced when she was aged 9; she lived with her mother and two younger brothers. Her father had moved 20 miles away and she saw him every 2 - 3 weeks. Around the age of 13, her relationship with her mother began to deteriorate and eventually worsened so much her mother sent her, without any discussion, to live with her father.
