If you know that your parents are not happy then it would be wrong to lie to keep them together.Be truthful and honest.

You should not lie to mother just to keep them together. WHat is the situation like? Are they fighting a lot? Maybe they do not love each other anymore. That happens sometimes. How old are you btw? I am sure you are old enough to understand what is going on with your parents. Take care.

well...first off im sorry to hear about that. second of all. she married this person because it felt right and she loved them. love doesnt just go away. maybe a trial seperation but why would she want to throw love away? if 2 people really love each other they will work through anything. life has its many battles and these are bound to happen with relationships. why put kids through pain, why put yourself through the pain of anything like that? if she didnt love the person why did she marry them in the first place? be honest with your mother and tell her that she married this person because she loved them not because she was going to file for divorce through a rough patch that could be fixed. love is an amazing gift, i mean if its bad like abusive type then its for the best..just be 100% honest with your mother tell her how you feel about the situation. we all struggle with things but we all make it through them, i wish you the best of luck, stay strong, be honest and never hold back.

How do you feel about the situation? Do you want them to divorce? Tell your mom the truth. She might appreciate your point of view. Besides, arent parents suppose to want the best for their kids? What would be best for you?

FIrst off your mother should not be putting you in that situation for any reason. Sure you might be more friends but she is your mother and this is her decision not yours and it is very selfish and WRONG of her to be asking her daughter. Tell her she has to lisen to her self and she will know what is right in her heart. And if the split younever know they could come back together it does happen a lot.

Well one thing lying never solves anything you just keep on lying then, I would support both my parents without toking sides or agreeing with either of them. Give your sister lots of love and support sounds like this really hard for her to. This the time your can really be close all help each other..

She's only asking you to prepare you for when she let's everyone in the family know. Your opinion will not stop this if she's truly unhappy, and things are going on that you are not aware of in the marriage. This is what happened when my situation went down.

Never lie! be honest and tell her what you really think. But in the end it is really up to her. just love her and be there for her.

if ur dad isnt a problem then u shud hold them back ... if ur mom is seeing someone else then ask the other man to make way and not break ur family.... but with 2 daughters i guess ur mom should be acting in a bit more mature way.

Please, abbie, speak to your mom from your heart and tell her the truth about what you think.....Obviously she respects your opinion........Divorce is not the end nor the worst thing in life and even may make your home life happier....Take care, honey
