To hope your parents get divorced? They fight ALL the time, and my mom is always the one that causes it. I know a lot of people have been through divorces...what is it like? Im a teen still.

Hi,
I'm sorry you're going thru this. I'm married and not divorced and hopefully won't ever be.
I believe in working it out - HOWEVER - YOU are NOT wrong.
You're having strong feelings because it affects you so strongly.
Once parents are divorced, it's not a picnic either. That status brings on a whole new list of battles between them.
It's ashamed as adults they can't work out problems more calmly.
You say your mom is the cause; I'm assuming (<--that means I'm only guessing here) but it sounds as if SHE is unhappy. It is up to her and your dad to decide what is best for them first and then the family. They had to have loved each other once upon a time. Maybe mom could use a hug and dad some romance tips?
No matter how this turns out - no, don't feel bad for wishing peace among the ones you love, no matter what that might mean.

I doubt you really want your parents to divorce - sounds like what you want is a happy family, without all the fighting and drama, and you're willing to accept whatever it takes to get it.
Divorce is no fun for anyone involved, including the kids. Sounds like your parents really have some issues to work out - do they have any idea how much of an impact their fighting is having on you? Pick the parent more likely to listen to you, have them take you out for coffee/ice cream, whatever, and TALK to them. Explain how much this is bothering you, and see if there's anything they can do about it. It may be that they're still together because they feel it's better for you or your siblings. Children do better with 2 parents - but that's if the marriage is working, and it's obvious theirs isn't. If they're not going to work at it and fix the problems causing the fights, then divorce may be the solution.
Like I said, it seems like all you're hoping for is a happy home, and there's nothing wrong with that - every child deserves it.
