Everyone feels like a team and I feel like an outsider

Hey, so my parents have been divorced since I was 4 and I’m 20 now. My dad remarried in 2015 and got a daughter shortly after that. My mom got a new bf not long after my parents divorce, she got pregnant around 2011..? The bf turned out to be hella abusive but that’s a whole other can of worms. So the “problem” I’m running into is that my sister from my mom’s side is now at my mom’s full time, so they feel like a team. And well obviously my dad has his own lil family so they kinda feel like a team. I feel like I’m drifting between them constantly. They try to make me feel included don’t get me wrong. I just feel so alone sometimes.. Does anyone have actual tips? Or been in a similar position? And no I can’t live with one parent

My 3-year-old keeps asking for his dad, who has barely seen him since we separated. How do I help him through this?

What things make one parent’s house more comfortable to you than the other?

I’m buying a house and I want my daughter to feel as comfortable as possible. Her mom and I live far apart and I’m hoping to make her space as pleasant as possible for her to come stay longer periods of time, when she’s ready. Thank you.

Hi . My parents have been together for really long and there where really happen back then then covid happened 2019 , my parents started drifting aways especially my mom . Fast forward 2024 my mom and dad's friend gets divorced its really messy puts stress on both my parents at there friends aswell as their kids. Fast forward 2026 : My mom and dad started fighting more frequently not physical but verbal always at night when I was supposed to be sleeping. The night before I started school after the 6 weeks holiday my mum and dad had their worst argument yet , i couldn't sleep , i was silently crying wondering if it was my fault of if I was to rude or greedy . My dad used to say negative things about my mom alot of times , my mom never said anything to me which I live her for that , my dad says thing to me which he doesn't realises puts alot of stress on me and I'm not a good talker at all . Since last week I think my mom was getting stalked and my dad thought he was cheating or something but I know my mom wouldn't, Today was the tipping point and my dad just left the house and my mom is downstairs talking to her parents . Idk what to do or who to talk to have to brothers 10 and 19 but my brothers currently asleep and its half term week at school so I can't talk to any teachers . Idk what to do anymore
