single parent

you don't have to be affected actually. if your parents separated but they are still doing their jobs as your parents, then its fine. though some said that it affects the children psychological, i believe that it depends on how the parents handled it. and also, the parents should be sensitive to the child's thoughts on these things. i broke up with my partner, but our kid is perfectly fine with it. we talked to her about it, and she said she is happy on how we treated her, and the decision is ours to make.

You don't have to be affected with it, your father might still be having a hard time moving on, time will come that he will tell you everything just not now. Understand him first.
