    💔&nbsp; What it means to have grown up with parents separating or divorcing
</h2>
<p style="font-size: 1.1rem; font-weight: 500; margin: 0; color: #1f2937;">
    <strong>Did you grow up with parents separating or divorcing, watching your world shatter into two irreconcilable realities? Did you learn to pack your life into a suitcase, to translate between two homes that felt like foreign countries, and to carry the impossible burden of navigating between people who couldn't stand each other anymore?</strong>

    <blockquote style="font-size: 1.1rem; margin: 0; color: #0c4a6e; line-height: 1.6;">
        💎 These days, you keep one foot out the door in relationships—because "forever" always ends<br><br>
        💎 You often obsess about people who have hurt you long after they're gone from your life, replaying conversations and thinking about what you should have said and done differently<br><br>
        💎 Growing up, you became skilled at reading the room and adjusting your behavior based on which parent you were with, developing different versions of yourself for different parents

    <p style="font-size: 1.1rem; margin: 0 0 20px 0; color: #1f2937;">
        After your parents divorced, your family broke into pieces, and you had to figure out how to exist in two separate worlds. You felt caught in the middle of adult conflicts, caring for everyone else's feelings while your own got lost in the shuffle. You learned to pack your entire life into a suitcase, shuttling between houses that never quite felt like home.
    </p>
    
    <p style="font-size: 1.1rem; margin: 0; color: #1f2937;">
        You became a shapeshifter, learning to read each parent's emotional climate and adjusting your behavior based on which parent you were with—developing different versions of yourself for different households. Love became something that could disappear overnight, and family became a concept that could be legally dismantled.
