Is it normal that i want my parents to get a divorce?

My parents have been married for 10 years. My mom gave birth to me before their marriage when she was around 17 or 18. So of course part of me thinks they only got married because they had a child together but the would never admit it. Four years later they had another child. (accidentally, they even told me) Their second child, my little sister had downs syndrome. We all loved her to death and still do even if it a struggle sometimes. A few years ago my mom was diagnosed with MS. She has little energy and has very poor vision. She is legally blind. That was a huge struggle in my family and still is to this day. It hasn't gotten better and wont. She cant drive and is constantly unhappy. My parents are always fighting and im always fighting with them. They are clearly unhappy together and I want them to separate. With my moms problems, I don't know if she will ever find somebody else to drive her everywhere and do the things my dad did for her. I know my dad will find someone else who would make him much happier. I want them to separate, but i am scared for my mom and how the adjustment will affect my little sister. Is this normal?
If you read all the way to the bottom- I appreciate it

    You stated that she has MS and has many difficulties.

    What are you doing to make things easier for her? I mean other than hoping your Dad leaves her to fend for herself?

    why should they care about what you think? who put you in charge? since when you have been given authority to make things happen your way in this house and who gave it to you? If you do not like things are run over here, find yourself another place where you can go to get your socks and underwear washed up! it is not like you are being of any help any way!
    I am still doing everything in this household at this day! and I am not gonna let you separate us just so you can throw your parties here and get wasted and sent me and your mother six feet underware just because you want to be like yoyr little spoiled junkie friends! now get the fuck out of here before I hit you.
    I mean it. GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE!

    And SCENE!

    I was ecstatic when my parents separated mainly because I hated my father and still do. I haven't talked to him for 1 year and couldn't be happier. To some, It could be not normal because you're suppose to love your family and they care for and love you. I agree with your answer to your long and harsh predicament. think about this though:What's going to happen after the divorce?

    Maybe wishing for a divorce is not really want you want. It sounds to me like you just want the fighting to stop. However, Angel_In_A_Glass_Dress is 100% correct! Social services or community nurses or a part-time housekeeper etc need to be in your lives in order to reduce the work load for your parents. There is nothing more wearing than physical exhaustion when you know you still have hours of work ahead of you. It makes you irritable and bad-tempered.

    Please try to keep your family together by helping out as much as you can. I'm sure it would devastate your little sister to lose a parent out of her life.

    Doesn't your dad help her out? If so, I don't think it's good to hope for divorce. Also, as Angel_In_Glass said you should help her out the best you can.

    I think it's normal because, from what I've read, it sounds better for everyone if you're parents divorced and stopped arguing with each other.
