Okay, I am 24 years old and I just recently moved back in with dear old mom n dad while I go back to school to get my real estate license. I just found out that they are getting a divorce basically because my mom is crazy. Not like mentally ill crazy, just yell at everyone and nothing ever pleases her and freak out for no reason crazy. My dad is very soft-spoken, very loving and just can't take it anymore. I fully support him. On the other hand, since I've become an adult, my mom (when not in crazy mode) and I have gotten very close. How do I support my dad and not lose the relationship with my mother while living with them during this split? Also, while I'm on the topic, does anyone have any tylenol and maybe some earplugs?

a menopause divorce... pretty common. If you are really close to mom you might suggest she consider some hormone therapy... if not just stay out of the line of fire. Hormonal imbalances can create real nut jobs till they stabilize. Until then get your life in order and get out as quick as possible. When dear old dad is gone you'll likely be the next target of her imbalanced venom.

Your mom may be menopausal and needs hormone therapy - before they divorce they need counseling and the pill will chill your mother out because there are things inside her that make her chemically imbalance while going through menopause. They need to go through counsel ling and she needs to be checked out by her physician to see if there is something that she can take to help ease the transition and make her more tolerable.
I have Tylenol no ear plugs. SMILE

First of all how old is your mom you know that she could be going through menopause and this has her going crazy to.
You just found out there getting a divorce are you sure this is all to it they may not be telling you everything. you need to be there for both of your parents and be supportive.
Best of luck

Uh...not much you can do....you're a grown woman and you should just stay away from it and let them sort things out. You will have to find it in your way to not take sides and still keep in contact with each of them.....hope that helps.....

you asked how you stay out of the divorce.
you later contradict yourself and ask how you support your dad without upsetting your mother?
why don't you remain mutual? it's not YOUR divorce, it's theirs... and even though it might affect you, it's virtually none of your business. you need not comment on one of your parents' behavior to the other, either.
take care of YOU.. and your parents will take care of their own crap.
