My parents don't like each other and don't get along at all and for years there has been constant issues between them because they don't like each other and my dad basically isn't even part of the family. So lately my mom has brought up divorcing my dad and she was asking me about it because she found that this must affect me too. So I told her that I have no idea why they are together and I agree that they should divorce because it would make everything easier since he's not involved anyhow. My mom is trying to figure out a way to do it while she would be able to keep the house and my dad would have to leave. So tonight she was bringing it up to my dad because she wants to do it and she said that I agreed. My dad turns to me and says "you want me to leave". I'm automatically thinking to myself crap because I do but I don't want this decision to be made because I want them to divorce as well. Should I be honest about how I feel and not hide it from my dad like I have been?

Well.... From one who was in your shoes... I would say honesty is the best policy here.
You are a member of the household... and you should have some input to this.
It is not going to be easy for any of you.... including your dad, believe it or not.
You sound wise for your years... I would definitely speak your peace....
good luck!

There is no law that says you have to agree with you father. Just honor them and do the best you can for who you are at the time. Your dad wants you to be happy because he loves you. Tell him how you feel in a nice way:
I want you and mom to be happier so that life will be easier on all of us, and if a divorce is what is needed and you leaving I guess, We all need that.

You have to be honest darlin there is nothing else you can do..if you want to have a relationship with your dad tell him that does not mean that you do not want him in your life but that you can't stand to see them both miserable. It is a very hard thing but if you are supportive of both parents then it will all work out in the end...bless you hon..

Oh man, How old are you? You are very mature; more mature than most adults I know. I thik you should have your dad read what you just wrote here. He shouldn't have asked you like it's your decision. Good luck!!! You have the right to love and support from each of your parents, without being put in the middle. I hope it all works out.

Don't you think theres a little bit of your mom trying to make you responsible for a decision that is all hers. You can't divorce your dad.

You are part of the decision so there is no hiding. You have to be honest and tell him the truth. It is not on your shoulders but just one of the factors involved. Be truthful!

My parents broke up long ago, the best way to deal with it is to emotional detach your self. You will have a much easier time then.

I don't think the issue is that you want him to leave and don't let him project that onto you. . .I'm sure he was hurt at first.
However. . .by the sounds of it you are more concerned about their happiness. . .and they are not happy in the current situation. Definitely talk to him. . .and clarify how you feel. . .you may find some things about your Father in return.
I wish you well with this.

Tell them both that you don't want in the middle of this. Talk to each of them and let them know how you feel.
