I think YOU should tell your parents for your sake and your kids not to break up. The fact that you will be in the middle choosing who to go to and when you should go to who's house is very hard and sad not seeing your 2 parents together once you are having fun with your kids is heart breaking TRUST me!!!

About your parents... I'd just have to say "People grow apart." It's nothing personal, they just need to move on to a different phase of their lives. They are (probably) happier this way. I live with a single parent and am single myself (by choice), so I know that people can be happy without being with a "significant other".
About your kids... it depends on their ages.
If they are infants, don't be afraid to ask your friends for advice or help with raising them. Children can be a bit overwhelming at first, but they will grow to mean a lot to you in the future. Also, start a college fund. It's never too early.
If they are older, set aside special days when the family can go out and have fun together. Do not spoil them with lots of toys. An afternoon of quality family time can do more than a dozen expensive toys ever could. Also, help them with their homework and be active in their schooling. Make sure they are on the right track for college.

tell your kids about the compatability of love and how love sometimes has challenges to hurddle over. and how some times its best to work them out when a relationship starts to get dull and lifeless. the best suggestion would be how to be spontanous and creative. love comes and goes when you get older and when you get older you have to settle down and look seriously for the right better half. and plan a future and the home fires burning with love and honesty and respect. so that when they the kids realize when they get older that the best thing to do is settle down and start a good strong relation ship and to be open minded so the relationship last and it remains health. tell your kids that sometimes a relationship dont last because the other half is not into trying to make things work and that it take two people to love one another. and love is a treasure that cant be thrown away. and that some times people get mad and dont think things through all the way so they get more mad an the next thing is said without even thinking of being regretfull and damage is done emotionally.

Scared FOR your kids you mean?
Just take this as a push to keep it together with your own family.
People who say "deal with it" are just having issues with their own losses as a child. The younger a child is when they experience a parental divorce, the more profound the trauma.

Why are you scared of YOUR kids? Are they going to disown their grandparents? Will they strike out at you? How old are YOUR kids? Just sit and talk to them, perhaps you and they can both understand and come to grips with this difficult time.
