My parents are getting a divorce.

[Mathew404]

Okay, so latley i have been noticing some things that arent right between my parents. First off, they argue non stop, at leat 6 times a week, and i am not even kidding. Also, they never talk to each other. Like at dinner time, they only talk to me and not each other, so like both of them are talking to me but they arent talking to each other. Also, another thing is that when they talk on the phone, my mom will only say bye and wont say love you or anything. My mom sleeps in her bedroom and my dad just sleeps in one of our guest rooms.

I don't know, its so frustrating and annoying!! Is anyone elses parents going through a divorce.

Have they told you that they are getting a divorce? You may be jumping to conclusions. Every relationship goes through ups and downs.

My parents are not getting a divorce. They do fight a lot, but I don't think that they would ever separate.

I know the idea of your parents separating must be tough, but if they are not happy together, in the long term, a divorce might be better in the long run. It will be different but it will take time to get used to.

But its better they are separated and happy, than miserable and together. After the divorce, the healing can begin and you'll have a better relationship with them since they aren't miserable anymore.

Well it sucks that you are putting you in the middle of this. I know it may be hard for you to see your parents like this but getting a divorce will give them both closure and most of the time the fighting will stop.

Have your parents tried going to counseling to try to work out their differences and see if they can work things out.

Divorce should always be the final option not the first option. It sucks going through a divorce for you too. Parents forget that their children also go through the divorce.

All parents go through a soggy patch. How would you feel with living with the same person, sharing the same bed for years??

But anyway, maybe as the other's have said, your jumping to conclusions. But if their relationship gets any worse, maybe you should tell them how you feel. Tell them that they need to go to counselling. As Mr solo said...divorce should be a last option.
See what happens in the long run, their relationship might improve.

It's bad enough seeing all this and not being able to stop it, and it's especially bad that you don't know what's going on, why, or what it will lead to.

You can't fix their problems, but you can ask about them, specifically, what it means. I don't know how this would work in your family, but I think that when people make their behavior public (as your parents are), it's not unreasonable to ask what's going on and what it means, and maybe even to ask if they're getting divorced. At least you'll know, and maybe even more importantly, they'll know that you know, and do something about it. You'd be surprised how oblivious some people can be when they're upset, and letting them know you know might give them the jolt they need to fix their problems like adults, rather than retreating into silence and avoidance.

My parents divorced when I was in second grade. They were always fighting. I know you're going through hell. My parents hate each other. They fought nonstop for weeks about " I get the beach house" or "you take the range rover I'll take the volvo" or " you only get the kids on weekends". I know it's awful but I got through it, and so can you.
