1. If your dad is happy, I would support him.
2. You have separate relationships with your parents. Keep it that way. If your Mom is mad at your Dad, that's her problem, not yours. It's not fair for her to badmouth him to you. If she does, tell her "I understand that you're upset, but he's still my Dad and I still love him. If you're angry, then you deal with it. I don't want to get drug into it."
3. Don't get in the middle of any drama that might result from the engagement. If your parents start acting up and trying to pull you into it, just remind them that it's not fair for them to do that and to leave you out of it. It doesn't mean that you don't love them, but you are half of each of them and an attack on them is an attack on you.
Continue to love your folks; don't get caught up in their drama. I'm sure they love you, and they may lose their minds a little when they lose sight of that.

sometimes things happen in life that we have no control over and alot of those things have absolutely no explanation why. Parent divorces are one of those things. No matter how much you hate it,theres nothing you can do to stop it. And just because parents are adults, that doesnt mean they always do the right thing either. The biggest thing is this probably been coming for some time now and definitely is not your fault. Sometimes adults just grow apart for no reason and instead of staying together and making things at home worse, they divorce and move on. The ones hurt the most by parents divorcing are the kids, but kids are resilient and bounce back and move on themselves. You dont have to agree with it but will have to probably learn to live with it. Its almost like when you have a best friend but then something happens and the next thing you know youre not best friends anymore. Good luck

That is how your mom feels let her know that you don;t want to be in the middle of it and she can vent her anger to her friends but not to you that is not fair to you at all HUGS
