writes: Dear Agony Aunt, My boyfriends mother has decided that she can't live with his Dad anymore and is moving out. This isn't really shock news because they have been fighting for months. However, my boyfriend (16) is feeling unsuprisingly rotten - not helped by the fact that his mother is taking his 12yr old sister with her and leaving him with his Dad. She is only moving a short distance away, to the next town, but he thinks its the end of the world. I went through a similar thing about 5 years ago when my Dad moving out for about 6 months - but he came back. I have been trying to reassure my boyfriend that it will all come out good and she will come back, like my Dad, but he just sees the negative in everything and is taking about divorces and separate parental homes - which haven't even been mentioned by either of his parents. I dont know what to do or say to make it any better for him other than reassure him that I'm here to talk to, cuddle or escape to. Is there anything else I can do to ease the situation for him taking into account that we live about 20 miles apart and atm I'm only seeing him about 2times a week due to pressures of college exams. PLEASE HELP. I feel useless. From, Helen.

You seem to be doing all you can at the moment by being there for him when he needs you. it will take a while for him to adjust to his new situation and the only other thing you can do, is wait until he comes to terms with the situation.
