m8 my parents have just split up and im just as confused as u are and probably upset to, but if i recommend anything just cry it out and leave it be because they will both still love you no matter what , it will be probably the worst thing to interferer. also i hate to say this but most of these comments are right there is nothing you can do and im only 15 and can accept this but dont get me wrong yes im upset, angry and i feel like someones got a hammer and smashed it over my world and scatted the remains in thousands of places, ;( no matter what you have heard your parents say they are just shouting things they dont mean but eventually and hopefully they might even become friends again but highly and sorry to say this.... but wont ever go back out im dread fully sorry and hope you have taken my advice wisely, i know im only 15 but i defiantly know what your going through and hope you get better.

I'm really sorry but there really isn't anything you can do. my parents divorced when i was 10 and it was pretty bad but you just need to support both of your parents who both love you.

Good luck.

n00dl35 agony auntyou can't do anything but be there for them and support them when they need it. things happen. you just have to learn to deal with it.. and i know it sucks, but you just gotta. my parents got divorced when i was really little, so i can't even remember them being married, and i always wish they never got divorced but it happened. you just have to accept it.. i'm so sorry. good luck and take care

I feel so sorry for you. There is probably nothing you can do to stop this, as it is what is going on between them. Just make sure not to take sides and to tell and show both of them that you really love them. Tell them both how sad you are at their breaking up and ask if there is anything you can do, not to stop this, but to make them feel better in general.

BlondeBabe x agony auntSadly there isnt anything that you can do, there obviously wernt happy together so have decided to split.

It will take time for you to get used, and at first it will be hard.

But it just something you have to try and cope with.

Take Care x

Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do to keep them together...what you can do is support both parents. Show them you love them both...you understand that neither of them is abandoning you and that you are there for both of them. But don't become a parent to your parents! You are the child and they need to remember that! Don't allow them to try to get you to take sides. Stay independent, and show them each that you love them!

Sweety Pie agony auntMy parents are divorced too and its honestly much better than having them arguing all the time, im sure you would agree that having no arguments will be better for you? And you can live with alternate parents too, which isnt bad at all (and a great excuse when you forget your homework too) Also you get two lots of presents at xmas and birthdays. Honestly I know its hard at first but they still love you and want to make things the best they can for you. Good luck xx
