Is it normal to be worried about my parent's possible divorce?

5 Comments

My parents have been arguing constantly for the past few weeks. My mom is the instigator. She accuses my dad of cheating because he used to give this lady at his job a ride (he is a shcool bus driver) to her home. My dad denies ever having anything, he says "Why would I want more problems with some other woman?" My mom always says "I could have cheated on you if I wanted to." She is constantly threatening him, saying she will leave if he ever does cheat. My dad is sick of hearing her complaints. She seems to bring it on at random moments. I know my parents are not happy right now. I am scared they will get divorced, I don't know what I would do. I am 19, but I still feel like a kid. I am scared of them getting a divorce. I feel like little by little, my family is falling apart. Is this normal?

    Oh and you still are a kid and your family may be falling apart but that doesn't mean you have to. But I have gone through similar circumstances at your age and it's so confusing and hard to watch family falling apart but it will get better divorce or no divorce.

    I really feel for you because you should be thinking of your own life not your parents. Keep a clear head and focus on your future not your parents because there is nothing you can do about it. You will be very stressed and depressed and just make sure you get a good education or go live on a college campus to stay on track.
