Separated Parents Anniversary
I know some might thing this is stupid, and reply "hell no", but should I get my parents an anniversary present if they're separated? They're not divorced, and I didn't think about it until now. I asked my mother if we have any special occasions in August, and she replied "my anniversary". She still thinks it's a special occasion even if her marriage sucks and my dad doesn't live with us. I asked her if I should still get her a present and she blushed and didn't answer. I have a feeling my parents would really appreciate it, but it's kinda weird. Really weird. I'm really confused here. Please help!!!

I think you should get your parents a anniversary
present even though their separated them being separated shouldn't matter either way you look at
it it's still their anniversary that won't change if you have a feeling your parents would really appreciate a present then do what you feel is right if your mom didn't think it was a special occasion then that'd be a different story but that isn't the case it's worth it to get them a present remember it's the thought that counts :)
Good luck!

I say you don't get a gift. I mean, even if you would, would you buy them one thing and force them to be together? Or buy them two small things?
My advice is to just be there for them. Keep in mind that they may be feeling quite lonely, and thinking back to the 'good times'. Why don't you do something nice for them. Separately of course. Just make dinner, or ask if they want to go out for lunch. Do something separately for the both of them.
This way, they feel that they have company, and focus on the good (you), rather than what could have been.
Hope I helped. Good luck! :)
