Parents splitting taking a toll on my mental health.

So, my parents have been together for 30+ years and have decided to split in January. It was kinda out of the blue for me and the atmosphere isn’t great at home, arguments over money, houses ect and my dads been getting pretty angry with my mum despite her trying her best to resolve the situation so it’s fair, threatening her ect.

I’m in my third year at university and have 5 weeks left, but the split is really affecting me and my work, university are aware but just tell me to get my head down and finish, despite me saying I need help and I’m struggling. I see my mum cry daily and she disclosed to me today that my dad use to beat her when she was pregnant with me and when I was younger (I have no memory of this but do remember really aggressive fights)

I don’t know what to do, I feel deflated and depressed and university are not taking it seriously, I missed a few lectures and seminars due to my mental illness and got pulled up saying if it doesn’t improve I’ll be kicked out. I just feel like I’m at a loss.

I wish I had some magic words or great advice.

But. Since I don't, I'll just send the most positive thoughts toward you.

They’re telling you right, it’s time to go into self preservation mode! Save yourself ... you cannot save any of the rest of it!
