Question Posted Friday September 24 2004, 7:00 pm

Well, today my mom had asked me to make dinner and I did because I love to cook. When she got home she said "I hope your father doesn't show up late so he can eat some dinner." I said, Oh, he's going out to dinner with some of his coworkers remember? and she said that she had no clue what I was talking about. Basically, my dad didn't tell her anything about the dinner so she's pissed. She always gets really pissed off at him because she says that they don't communicate. Well, she says that he doesn't communicate with her. I'm really scared that my parents might get a divorce. I love both of my parents and I hate to see them argue and the thought of them getting a divorce scares me. There are so many kids in my school who's parents are divorced and they look at me like I'm crazy when they ask me "So, do you live with your mom or your dad?" and I respond with, "Both". This is hard for me, I don't want my family to be torn apart! What should I do?

Additional info, added Friday September 24 2004, 7:02 pm:
also, my mom always says "One of these days I swear I'm gonna leave town." They've been married for 21 years and known eachother for 24!!! You can't let go of something like that!.

all you can really do is just try not to get on their nerves or say anything that might make them mad. you could do more work around the house and stuff so they have more time to try to communicate. but do not do anything that might annoy them because then they'll be even more upset and stuff. thats all you cane really do without getting in the way. i hope i helped.

ok, sometimes parents need to vent. thats probably why your mom says stuff like that. if she's been with him 21 years, i strongly doubt she's going to leave him now. sometimes my mom freaks out too, and i'm nearly convinced they'll get a divorce some day, but what can we--their children do? its really just up to your parents to maintain their relationship. like i know my parents will at least wait for my sister and i to graduate from college and then if they feel the need too, they will spilt up. i'm sure your mom will wait too, if thye're going to get a devorce.

yeah, i wouldn't worry too much. eh, maybe she just has her period or something, or she's pms or hey, it could even be metopose. she could be all pissy because of hormons and not your dad, but just be taking it out on him.

At the moment I am going through exactly the same problem. But its just a little bit more advanced. My mum and my dad weren't 'communicating' for a while.My mum came to me and started saying stuff like 'Im going to leave' and my dad started saying stuff like 'why doesnt she talk to me' etc. Anyway it got real confusing. My parents have been married for 19 yrs. Now they have decided to separate. They want to live apart for a while to see how they feel. It hit me real bad when I found out. I love my parents so much and cannot see them living apart. It is my ideal to see a family live and be together for ever. I never thought it would happen to me. Sometimes it just doesnt work like that and now I see.
My best advice is just to see beyond what you want and think about what is best for them and whichever will make them happiest if they ever decide to get a divorce. That is what I had to do.

They could/can get a dvorce but if its just over "they cant communicate" than the probally wont, i mean they lasted 24 years, i dont think there going to break up just over something like that. If your really worried set them down and let them know. But i wouldnt be to worry, and who isnt scared of thinking there parents are going to get a divorce??
