Understand what your parents are doing is no reflection on the care and love they have for you. They are at a stage where can longer live with each other.

Nothing. There is nothing you can do. You can't fix their relationship. I have tried for years to fix my parents' relationship only to be deeply hurt and damaged by it. I view relationships weirdly now because of it. The best thing to do, is show them both you care about them and respect their decision. As long as they are both still there for you when you need them, all is for the best x

All I can say is take care of yourself because it is really hard for us to know that our parents are getting divorced but i have something that you can do, firstly, spend some time with each of your parents and let them vent about what they feel because when parents are getting divorced they feel that nobody cares about them anymore since the other parent was all they had, so if you talk to them they will feel that someone is there for them through this hard time they are going through :)

Practice many things that help you calm down and express your anger in a healthy way. You may feel a loss of control or a declining academic performance, but your parents are having troubles. And it will more than likely get better once they split and their feelings of anger or stress subside.

The decisions that your parents make is their choice that they have to leave with. You are not responsible for the decisions that they make and they happiess. You are only responsible for your own happiness.

Divorce is hard. It's hard for everyone who's part of a family that's going through it. Since this problem is not directly yours, the best thing you can do is be supportive on both sides- don't choose a side. I come from a divorced family, and taking sides is not helpful for your parents are struggling with a decision that is very hard to take. Be understanding, be loving; at the end of the day, this is not your fault and giving your back to one of your parents only makes the situation harder.

You can talk to them and tell them how you feel about it and if possible ask them to reconcile differences for love and better development

It helps to understand that you can't do anything to change their decision. But you can focus on yourself at this point. Try to keep yourself healthy and emotionally stable. If you feel overwhelmed try to seek help from a counselor or any one available to you just so you are in a healthy state of mind. Which will in turn make you capable of helping your parents or siblings cope. Do not neglect yourself.

What you can do is to not blame yourself. You can be there for both of your parents, tell both of them that you love them and do not take sides. Also do not let them use you to bad mouth one over the other.
