my mom wants a divorce from my dad since he did something that he had to for work but she thinks he could have done it at another time since he needed to go to a meeting that is going to affect how we are going to be able to sell our house. my dad really doesn't want a divorce, but my mom has already gone to get boxes. this happened earlier, about four hours ago. i know my mom still loves him. what happened?? they were perfectly happy last night!! whats going to happen? sure, my moms got a tendency to do things she later regrets since she usually overreacts at first. but does she really mean it? earlier she said she still had to think about it.

this has nothing to do with you. my parents separated when i was i high school. all i can say is STAY OUT OF IT. if you need to talk about it then call your friends for support. the relationship between your parents is between your parents...not you and your parents. they still love you. their divorce has nothing to do with their love for you.

Obviously, your dad did something really bad that made your mom really mad! Not to panic, parents sometimes go off the deep end when angry. Let them work it out between themselves for tonight and when things calm down, let both of them know what you are feeling. They have themselves on there minds, the thing that happened between them, and sometimes it takes someone like you to jolt them back into reality. I hope that they get this worked out for you sake, and everything gets back to the way it should be. One other thing, It doesn't have anything to do with you so don't start thinking that you may have done something. Parents fight and say things in the heat of the moment so don't hold it to them. Let the shock wear off and they will come back to their senses!!

Fortunately,for you divorces take some time and just dont happen overnight. Even if she filed tomorrow, its still going to take some time for paperwork, investigations,etc and a divorce can always be cancelle at anytime during until the final court date which will probably be months down the road so theres plenty of time for her to reconsider her actions so I wouldnt worry about it for awhile. Good luck and Happy Holidays

there is always more to it than you know.somethings they don't want you to know or is any of your business.it hurts when parents break up but it is worse living in a divided house.all you can do is suggest counseling and maybe some for you too.good luck.also life is not over only changed keep yourself busy.

there is probably more going on than their telling you. You can't just want a divorce over that!!
If your mom is an over reactor, then just let it be for now. It's between them for now.

wow thats a stupid reason to call quits.
anywho, beg her to sleep on it, and convince her how SHES over reacting.
often times, the child is the only one who can open their eyes.
