My parents are splitting??

i'm 15 years old and have two other siblings. my parents have always gotten into small fights, but for the past year the fights have gotten worse and caused more drama. i hate when these things happen, but i always thought that they would just work their problems out. now mom is searching for new houses to live in and claims that they are getting divorced. i know that my parents cannot live together anymore because it is just not a healthy environment to grow up in for me and my siblings...but it is starting to really upset me! i do not want to have to move into a smaller house and split up all my belongings! i have gotten so emotional about this whole thing lately. am i being selfish? or is this normal??My parents are splitting??
You aren't being selfish, it is normal; it's rough on kids when their parents split up....just remember, they both love you and your brothers/sisters just as much as they always have and none of your parent's mess had anything to do with you kids. Hang in there.......focus on keeping your grades up........look at the bright side....you will be able to spend time with both your parents without having to hear arguing........you still love them both and they still love you!My parents are splitting??
It is normal, my sister and I went thru our parents divorce when we were in high school. My sister wanted them to stay together but myself on another hand I felt that it was between them. They have never involved us*me and my sister* in the divorce proceedings* they were mature enough not to fight over anything when they got divorce. I respected their decision and I understand, while my sister was totally upset and wanted them to stay together. You won't have to split up your belongings. Most likely your mother probably can't afford to keep the house you guys live in. So that is probably why looking for a smaller place to live. Think of it this way. It's a shelter you need roof over your family's head. Just respect your parents decision. If you get too involved you might get really hurt emotionally.





Hope that helps.+
Hon - what your feeling is completely normal. Why should you have to be put through all the crap when you didn't do anything??? I've been there as a child, and unfortunately have had to put my kids through the same experience... It was hard all the way around - but now my kids have 2 HAPPY parents instead of 2 miserable ones. Just remember to keep the communication lines open with both of your parents - try your hardest not to take sides and let them know you refuse to do so. This will be hard for you and your siblings but remember that it is not your fault. When you feel angry - sad - pissed - happy - ect... tell them and tell them why!!! Though it is their problem to resolve - you have a right to have a voice.
well you are going to have a lot of ups and downs. see if your school can help you deal with this. think it will help you a lot
normal.
Its perfectly normal to feel like that but at least you will still have both your parents. My dad died when i was 17.





Btw im 18 now so i think youll cope. as long as youve got good friends and family it will be alot easier to cope with.
First of all, don't ever think it's your fault. You are not being selfish in ANY way. Sometimes adults just can't work out their differences, and it may be for the best that they are splitting, because as you said it's not a healthy invornmenet for you or your siblings to be in. Maybe they just need some time apart...........hopefully they will realze how much they love eachother and maybe they can work it out.
you are not being selfish. this is how you feel and parents splitting up is a very sad scary thing. Your feeling this way is very normal. good luck to you and just remember even though your parents are getting a divorce, they love you very much. In a way with all the fighting going on, maybe this is the best thing in the end.
You are NORMAL. I am going though stage one and im very emotional---Remember that both your parents love you and If it doesnt work out, it wasnt meant to be. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS GIRLY CRYBABY OR A HARD HEART--- Pray to GOD that everything be fine and tell your siblings everything will be okay.
It's normal. Unfortunately your parents need to divorce because it's not healthy for you or your siblings to grow up in a bad environment like that. Be prepared to live in separate houses and to have your parents fight over who gets custody of you and your siblings.
