    Hi mate,

    The most important thing is know that this has nothing to do with you and that they both still love you.

    Unfortunately people divorce even after years of happy marriage but if being together is making them both unhappy then it could be the best thing for them. They may still work things out.

    They are both obviously going through a really bad time with a lot on their minds. Just try and be sympathetic to both of them about the situation and keep smiling.

    Try not to let t get you down, and keep smiling :)

    Best of luck to you mate.

    if your parents are having marriage problem they could try to talk it out, like if they love each other they will try to make it work, let them know first off that you will not be picking side and being used a arguing tool between them, I had a similar situation, at 14 my parents broke up as my dad had an affair, it was a hard few year but its only now , 6 years later my mum is trying to get a divorce, she had to wait due to the laws in my country to get a divorce, but to be honest, I felt so hurt over the fighting over and over, and it was because they are still married and have to deal with curtain issues together, at the end of the day I cant wait for the divorce as it can just cause way more angry and pain for family. make sure you sit down and tell your parents how you fell, like really tell them, make them listen, most important don't let your parents to try and get you involved and start trying to get you on there side against the other, the less your involved the better chance they can talk about it like adults. hope this helps,
