Hugs!
I feel for you. This isn't an easy situation, and it has to be rough on you. It sounds like you love both of your parents very much.
I'm old now, so I don't live with my parents, but my parents had a lot of troubles when I was a kid. They probably should have gotten divorced, but I'm happy they didn't because they worked through their problems.
That said, I would have lived with my mom. She shows us that she loves us unconditionally, and she never had to raise her voice to get us to do what we were supposed to do. My dad was immature, and he would not have been the father he needed to be.
I think you should talk to both of your parents and ask them what they think you should do. If they are not helpful, ask yourself who you would feel most comfortable with. It sucks that you have to make this decision. :(
Again, hugs!

You have to answer this question yourself. I think the question you should ask here is what criteria should be used to make this decision. If you do that, I think you will get more useful feedback. To just give an answer of your mother or your father without knowing either you or your parents is nothing more than a guess.
Lots of people have faced the choice that you are facing so ask them how they made their decision.
Personally, I chose to live with the parent who I saw as providng the best environment for me to live my life and to be happy. The other parent was exclusively focused on dragging me into the details of the divorce and the parent I chose to live with took care to insulate me from the divorce.
I'm sure others have different criteria they could suggest.

Well, my parents got divorced a long time ago, I was 13, and I stayed with my mom, I think it's the natural thing to do, BUT it all depends on who you get along with better, AND their wishes...I mean, for example, my mom kicked my dad out, so even if he had asked me I would have never gone with him; besides, he was 'dating' a lot of women and he of course, didn't want me or my brother with him. However, if this is not your case, and both of them want you, just follow your heart...but make sure to let the parent you're not staying with know, that it's not personal and they should - although probably won't - respect your decision.
Though one, but be brave, it's not the end of the world, believe me, I managed through and I am a happy grownup :)
Blessings and best wishes!!

When my parents divorced, I stayed with both. My parents lived in the same school district and shared the same ridiculous house rules. 6 days with Mom, 6 days with Dad. Sundays were Mom's, she believed in big Sunday dinners. When I was feeling under the weather, I stayed with Mom. We went back and forth, neither was too pressed. Dad was funny and played alot, Mom lacked a real good sense of humor but was motherly. Mom taught me the proper table place setting, Dad taught me to belch the loudest (oh and how to change a tire).

Who you want to live with is your own choice,but if my parents were getting a divorce I'd want to live with my dad because he's easier to deal with than my mom.For example... if I'm not feeling well,my mom will litterally force me into telling her what's wrong,but my dad won't asked me about it until I tell him

First of all i feel sorry to hear this.
okay it all depends on you. Who do you like better? or who can give you a better condition/situation to live in? Who are you happy with? Both of them? if you love both of them then you can ask them to take you to their house to live for a week then go back after that. Do they emigrate/imigrate to another country? then you might have to choose between them..

Depends on their attitude. If one of them is mean then go with the opposite. But it's your choice oh and sorry about your parents
