Divorce at any age isn’t easy to navigate. But what happens when your parents split up as an adult? Stylist columnist billiebhatia weighs in on the breaking up of a family unit.
– I am Billie the daughter and Billie the sister. So I understand why the idea of your unit breaking up is affecting you so much.
“So much of my identity is wrapped up in being part of a family unit. Before I am anything else – friend, journalist, purveyor of expensive trainers – I am Billie the daughter and Billie the sister”Ask Billie: “A few friends have recently said that I’m ‘a lot’. Should I be less?” In my early 20s, when I was still living at home and divorce was threatened again, my heart sank but the tears stopped flowing. I had got to the point where I understood divorce.
