Parents Splitting up.?

Question

I think my Parents are Splitting up. and i really don't want them too i know i cant stop them but now my mum has got really down how can i make her happy??

Answer 1

Give her a hug... she'll appreciate it. And if you want to know for sure whether something's gonna happen, ask her about it.  

Answer 2

If your parents decide to get a divorce, there is nothing you can do to stop it. Just let both of your parents know that you are there for them, no matter what their decision. You could let them know that you want them to have split custody, and be at each house half time. If your parents are truly unhappy with each other and they decide that a divorce is their best option, then it may be for the best. My parents got divorced... and I will not lie by saying it wasn't hard or wasn't a big adjustment, but they both remarried are are both very happy with their new lives. They argued a lot while they were married, and although it didn't seem like it at the time, I am glad that they did get divorced, because I love my step-parents and my whole new way of life that went along with their decision. Give your parents some time, they will hopefully sort out whatever is going on between them... whether it means resolving whatever issue they have peacefully, or getting divorced. Either way, I'm sure that they will consider the consequences of both actions. Trust them to make the right decision, and know that you could find a way to be happy with both... as long as you have an open mind.

Good luck... and I hope that everything works out for you... l

Answer 6

when parents split up, everyone thinks it's as bad as h**l (i should know) but don't do what i do and spend eternity trying to make them feel the way they used to. It will hurt but you will get over it, and make sure you spend as much time with each parent as you do with the other. And as people have said, just hug your mum and tell her it'll be alright.  

Answer 7

You can't, not really. Or rather, you already do make her happy--trust me, I have two daughters and they make me happy every minute of every day--but you can't fix this for her.

If your parents truly are splitting up, she's dealing with a lot right now. Fear that she's doing the wrong thing for herself and for you; fear that she'll be alone for the rest of her life; sadness that the marriage/relationship she thought would last forever isn't; regrets; loneliness...you name it and she's feeling sad about it, and you can't fix that.

But what you can do is let her know that you love her and you have faith in her. That you don't see her as a failure because her relationship is failing (she may very well feel like a failure because of it). Try to help her out a little; keep your room clean, do things she asks you to do without arguing, don't make too much of a fuss if she says no. Let her know how much you appreciate everything she's done for you, that you think she's special and a great Mom.

I'm so sorry you're going through this. I know it's hard. Believe me, your parents aren't happy about this either. They did NOT bring you into the world thinking that one day they'd be sharing custody, rather than being a family with all of you together. I'm sure they're both feeling just sick right now thinking of how this will affect you.

But remember too this isn't your fault, and that even though it may not seem like it right now, things will be okay. It may be a cliche that tie heals all wounds, but it's true. The storm will pass, and you'll find you're much stronger than you thought.

Meanwhile you take care of yourself, honey. Be strong. You'll get through this and so will your parents. (And you seem like a very sweet young lady; your parents have done a good job so far.)

I hope that helps.

Answer 8

Try talking to each parent alone and find out what is going on...sometimes it could be a misunderstanding. Take care...hope they don't split.

Answer 9

tell her youre theyre for her and dont give up on love

Answer 10

Just reasure her that your always there for her, and that you love her, i think thats all a mum wants to hear from her children.

Parents splitting up is a hard time for the parents and the children so as much as you may be hurting your mum and dad will be too, so i'd say just sit down with them, perhaps at different times, and just talk to them like a grown up about it all and tell them how you feel. its the best possible way, then everything is out in the open and can get sorted out..

All the best

Answer 12

let her know you love her and that she is a good mom, she may cry but they will be happy that she has a great kid tears, sometimes when we have feeling that suck being sad is actually needed she may need to mourn her feelings
