In a word, "no". Relationships are complicated, organic systems which revolve around multitudinous factors. Fault and blame are often inappropriate with regard to relationship issues, and the responsibility for dealing with relationship issues belongs to the adults.

No!!!!!
My parents got divorced and for the longest time I thought it was my fault. Most likely you helped them last as long as they did! Know that they both still love you.

Absolutely not! Whatever issues there might be, they are strictly between your parents. Even, for arguments sake, if they were having battles over how to discipline you, you would not be responsible. They are at odds with each other. I'm sorry that you are asking this question, at all.

Your parents have their own issues that they've been struggling with since before you were born, most likely. But that doesn't mean that you're the root cause of any of that or that you have anything to do with how they feel about each other. Some couples are forced into a relationship while others stay together well past a healthy separation point. Stress is a complex thing, try to be supportive of each parent.

No, It is not your fault at all. You are a very a good person and sometimes parents just don't end up working out, But that has nothing to do with you because people love you

No, no. It is never ever the child's fault. It is quite common for the child to feel at fault but just know they had their issues with each other.

do not ever feel like that is your fault, that is always their decisions and it is normal to feel like it's your fault and that's because you feel so down but it'll be okay

It sounds like you feel guilty about what's going on. Some situations we have no control over. You are allowed to have feelings but you should talk to your parents and communicate how you feel. They can help you feel better and explain the situation better.

No it is not. Your parents are responsible and adults, they are responsible for the choices they make as well as their own happiness.
