My dad is rude to my mom. My mom drives everyone crazy and doesn't work. They are consantly fighting and sometimes i talk to my best freind about how great it would be if they just got divorced. Is this normal?

Yep. Why don't you sit them down and suggest to them that they get divorced, because you are sick and tired of the fighting and it's making you sick it hurts so much. That will either bring them to a stop with the fighting, or they will go ahead and get divorced and your misery will end. Good luck.

It's funny. Parents often stay together for their children, only to talk to their children later in life and find that their children wish they would've gotten divorced long ago. I would say it's normal; being in a warzone would make you wish you could get out. This is going to sound hokey and cliche but you should talk to them. Dude, they might not even realize that they are hurting you. Parents get wrapped up in their own sh!t sometimes; it's selfish and it's not fair but they are just regular people, too, just like everybody else. If you tell them that their fighting disturbs you so badly that sometimes you wish they'd get divorced, I bet that wakes them up. Try it. And if it starts another argument, scream at them, "See?! See?! THIS is the problem! It's not you, Mom and it's not you, Dad. It's BOTH of you! You are both so worried about who's right and who's wrong and who's better and who's worse that you don't even realize you are making my life miserable!" Sometimes people fall into a pattern of arguing that is very hard to get out of. I was GLAD when my parents got divorced.

Yes Susan I would say that it is normal for you to want their divorce. It is always hard to see two people you love fight, and what's worse is that their bitterness can drive you away. I'm sorry that you are going through this, but don't be afraid or ashamed to talk to your parents and tell them how much their fighting hurts you. Maybe then they will realize that it might be better for them to go their separate ways if they can't solve their problems.

Is this something new? For some people this is normal and how they choose to live wheather or not they admit it. For others this is not normal and like to live a calm life and work out there problems.

I think both it is normal, and to be honest, your parents fighting around you is hurting you. Of course you want the fighting to stop. It's horrible for you to be caught in the middle.
I am glad that you have a best friend to confide in. Your situation is tough.
I am thinking of you!

Tell your parents you'd rather be FROM a broken home than IN one
