Ask them do they love each other? Then ask them why are you still together if you dont? Communicate your feelings to them.

Tell your parents that their relationship is making you miserable and ask them what solutions they can come up with that would make everyone involved happier. I don't think it is fair for parents to stay together just for the kids' sake when everyone is apparently unhappy. If they still love each other and want to work on their marriage, be happy with that but ask them to please not argue around you. But if they don't have the will to try and work things out, then separation and divorce may be the only logical solution. Communication is the key here. Make sure they know how you feel.

My high school boyfriend used to wish his parents would divorce because they clearly had a hideous marriage. But later, his dad got really sick and his mom was there to take care of him. Everyone was grateful that they hadn't split up, including his mom. Every marriage is different. If your parents are so clearly unhappy, talk to them. You can't make them do anything but you can make them aware of your feelings. Perhaps that will be the catalyst to either fix things or give up and walk away.

Marriage is a contract between the two parties. No one - including a child of that union can force the end of that contract. A child can often be the source of a difficulty between the parents. It is no one's business to interfere if the parents have not asked for help, either jointly or separately.

Caution to those children that think that they can run their parents lives. It is their life and for them and them alone to deal with. Why would you even think that you are smart enough to decide what is best for your parents. Concentrate on your own life and stay out of business that is not yours. If you get your life squeaky clean and perfect volunteer your time to those that have a need. Your parents are adults and they will decide their fate, not you.

Tell them not to prolong the agony if it's for your sake.
I really loved my ex-husband, but we fought constantly. I think it was really hard for my son, but when his dad left, he was relieved to not hear the fighting and crying. He sees his dad as often as his dad will come over and pick him up for visitation.
Kids want their parents to be together, but they also want them to love each other.

you can't MAKE your parents divorce. It is their marriage and it is not up to you.

One should not be trying to. Rather bridging the gap is desired.
After all it must be their own decision if no alternative is left.

If you are the child, tell them how you feel. They may be staying together for your sake.

Stay out of it. It is their lives, not yours. If they choose to stay together, for whatever reason, who are you to tell them they should do it any different?
