Divorce worries

[JohnJack]

I don't know if this is going to end up being much of a question or if it is going to be me doing a little bit of venting, but nevertheless I expect it to be helpful. I suppose that's one of the issues really, expectations that don't' come true. Anyway, my dad has worked in another country for the past year and so my mom, brother, and I have been living in the U.S., so he visits most weekends (though there was a point where he was gone for two and a half months). Now we are moving so that we can all live together again, which is difficult enough, but I think my parents just sort of expected to fall back into their old routines, but this hasn't really happened and along with other stresses the dynamic in our family is getting worse. Tonight they had a fight, again, and I don't want to jinx me by saying this, but I don't know if either if of them has considered a divorce, and what might happen. Maybe I'm just being naive, but I seriously couldn't imagine what it would be like if my parents split up, it just seems so strange and almost unlikely knowing what they have been like in the past, but i have seen how things are going and it's not good. I'm just starting to freak out about it, a lot! I mean if they did (and I pray to God that they don't and I'm just overreacting) I would have parents in different countries which would be so difficult. I guess I only have 2 years left before I go to University, but still it kills me to think about it. Do you think I'm overreacting; how should I handle this and calm down? Thank you so much, it has helped just writing this.
