Parents splitting up

My mum wants to split up with my dad even though my dad says they should at least make an effort to work things out but my mum is very stubborn.

If this happens then everything will be wrecked, house sold, everything, gone.

I cannot ing let this happen to my family!

My sister and I are going to speak to her about it, I have a general idea of what to say but any advice?

Please! Would be greatly appreciated!

My sympathies are with you but you need to know that you probably cannot change your mom's thinking. If her thoughts and plans have actually become verbal then she has been thinking about this for a while and already has her mind made up. Divorce doesn't have to be the end of everything. If your mom and dad's relationship is bad it probably isn't a real fun household to live in now anyway, right? Just know that you are not at fault. The children never are at fault. You need to continue loving both your mom and your dad and know that grown ups can and do make mistakes. My thoughts are with you.

Hang in there Harry. Divorce isn't always a bad thing. If your parents fight a lot then I think it would be harder to all live together. Sometimes when parents divorce and move apart it can allow them to keep their friendship and the fighting will stop or at least be limited. talk to your parents about it. Tell them how you feel and that you are scared. Hopefully things will work out okay for you. You might need to make a tough choice though. you may need to decide which parent you want to live with. Ask them, if they decide to divorce, to seek joint custody.

First you may not know, and you mom my not be willing to tell you everything that is going on. There can be alot of things happening you don't know anything about.

And just because your dad is saying he wants to work it out, it does not mean he really wants to, often it can mean he wants it to work it out on his terms.

And yes it changes everything but it does happen.

Tell her how important it is to you and your sister that they make an effort to work things out. Any idea why she is being so stubborn?

I don't know how old you are, although you seem to have a mature nature. In the end, no one, not even children, really know what is going on in a marriage between teo people. There may be issues your parents want to shield you from. Perhaps you think your mum is stubborn, but really she may have valid reasons for wanting to keep the truth from you. My advice is to ask her privately. She may open up. She may not. The truth is that even though this is painful for you, it's painful for your parents too. Try to open up communication. That is all you can do. I wish you and your family the best.
