what do i do when my parents are in the middle of a divorce?

Answer 1

Try to be considerate to both, they are both going through a very bad time. It has nothing to do with anything you did, believe me. Help both to do what has to be done. Give them both your love. they may not be able to love each other any longer , but they both have you in common ,and they both love you. It will be a hard time for you, but in time all will work out. It is better if they can at least get alone with each other, and not fuss over small stuff. It could be that they will be divorced forever, but sometimes people divorce and find out it was not what they wanted, but don't live your life expecting them to get back together. Just love them both ,and try not to let it mess up your life...Hope it all Go's smooth ...

Answer 2

Always remember that no matter how mad they are at each other that they both love you and you are not the reason for the divorce. As adults they shouldn't drag you into any of it but if they do just tell them I love yyou both and am not going to take sides. If it is just you and Mom now make it a little easier on her and help out without being asked and spend aas much time with you dad as you can. Keep a good relationship with them both and let them know you love them no matter what.

Answer 3

Tell them you would not want a broken family. As it will impact a lot in your future life undertakings.

Tell them divorce is just an easy way out.

Have them peacefully sit down and really reveal what are the underlying root of the problems. If they still love each other, they should reconcile. Don't dwell into the past.

Make ways for your Dad to date your Mum, let them feel they are in love again.

Pray for your parents.

Answer 4

While all the answers that have been given are great advice I would like to add one thing. Remember that you are the child and not the parent. This is their divorce and that you are not responsible for their decisions. Your parents (I am sure) love you and they will do everything to make this transition as easy as possible for you but if one says something about the other that you do not like just tell them I love both my parents and this is not my fight. Like I said they are the parents. Live your life as the child and do not allow their problems to become yours. Good luck

Answer 5

Let them know that you love each of them. Hug them a lot... both are probably going through a great deal of pain and anger right now. Don't choose sides... let each parent know how important they are and how much they mean to you. You also are experiencing a loss, so be kind to yourself and don't be afraid to cry.

Answer 6

Try to stay out of it as much as possible. Your parents are ending their relationship with each other, not you honey. They'll try to work everything out to keep your life as normal as possible. Hang in there kiddo, the process doesn't usually take too long.

Answer 7

first of all do not blame yourself and make sure you have time to be able to talk to both your mom and dad and tell them you need to have them listen to how you feel. just because they are getting divorced doesn't mean they stop being parents. spend time with both and be sure to talk about how you feel and try not to blame either one.

Answer 8

The only thing you can do is to understand them why they have to do it. I know its hard to have a broken family but there is nothing much you can do about on their decision. Just continue loving them and it will be easier for you to handle the situation.

Answer 9

Tell them to keep you out of it!!! You are the child and they need to work out this mess they made on their own and that is just what you should tell them. Don't let them use you against one another.

Answer 10

Support each one of them in any way you can. Don't take sides.
