So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Isaiah 41:10 Found this and thought it might be a good word of encouragement to you. I'll keep you in my prayers through your struggles and just let this be something that draws you closer to God and not farther away. The best thing to do in this sort of situation (not that it's happened to me specifically) is to fix your eyes on God. I'm sorry for you and I pray that you can be an example to anyone else out there that even in the midst of dismay and sorrow God is still there and he cares for you so much.  God bless!

Though my parents haven't divorced, I have many friends who have gone through their parents divorcing. It is a very devastating and traumatic event, and I know that several of my friends hid their true feelings about how they were affected. I applaud you for reaching out and admitting that you are having a hard time.
Remember, God is looking out for you and is with you throughout all the aftershocks. Through Him healing is possible, both your inner hurt and depression, and any external broken relationships. Keep your eyes on God, and look to Him for strength.
Don't be afraid to talk to a youth leader, Sunday school teacher, school teacher, school counselor, or some other adult that you trust. Talking can be very therapeutic and help with the healing process.
I will keep you in my prayers.
