If so, do you think it played a major or minor role in your life as of right now? For me, I think everyone would have been allot happier if they had just divorced or even got counseling but nothing ever happened, and to this day they are still together and miserable.

Yes, when I was a child/teenager I wished my parents would divorce. My father abused me and my mother was afraid of him (I think he mentally abused her too), so she never did anything about the abuse and tried to hide it from the outside world, which meant neglecting me (not letting me see a doctor for injuries for example, out of fear he might suspect something). It was not a happy home at all and their marriage has always been miserable. I always wished they'd divorce so that my mother and I could be free and live a normal life, but they are still together.
It definitely played a major role in my life. Had they divorced the abuse would have ended sooner and would maybe have had less serious consequences. Also, now that I don't live with them anymore it would have been easier to get rid of my father out of my life and stay in good contact with my mother had they divorced, but because they're still together and I'm not going to throw my mother out of my life I can't avoid being around that sick excuse of a human she lives with sometimes too.

Life is too short to waste like that. All those who spend such precious moments of life hating each other are doing no service to themselves or anyone else. Divorce is a gift in such situations and those who don't accept that gift, remain miserable and a frightening lesson for others including their loved ones for the rest of their poor lives. How pity!!!

I did. I sucks to wake up and go to bed hearing your parents argue. Or to pretend to be sleeping when you're not.. Or to hear your mom say she sacrified herself for the kids. I wanted them to get a divorce. They didn't. And I wanted to run away. I didn't. They are still together unhappy and still argue... Consequences? I am extremely independent, I was mature since an early age, I'm very sensible about people's feelings, I don't ever want to get married and whenever someone screams around me I freeze!

yes, my sister and I wanted a divorce bad. They didn't really fight, hardly ever, my mother wasn't happy and my father was very, very strict and domineering-my sister and I couldn't do anything with friends. My mother stayed with him until we were 15 and 16 years old, just so we could have a bit of an advantage (my father was very successful). They got divorced and my mother is happily remarried for 25 years!

I do not believe in "staying together for the kids" because it just harms them in the end and then you have stayed together for nothing and wasted al lthat time. You are right about this and sorry if this happened to you.
