Psychological studies show that children are adversely affected by their parents' divorce. In fact, the negative effect has been shown to be greater than being in a family where the parents stay together, even if the relationship is strained and their parents don't get along.

However, wanting your parents to get divorce doesn't make you weird, especially if your parents have a very dysfunctional, strained or unhealthy relationship. Given that 50% of marriages end in divorce, divorced parents are becoming more and more common. In the end, the decision is up to the parents, of course. But it may be a good idea to share your concerns or feelings with one of both of your parents. Most children do not want their parents to divorce. This desire probably reflects a difficult atmosphere at the child's home. If one of your parents is abusing the other (i.e. hitting them, intimidating them, being overly controlling, beating them, locking them up, or otherwise harming or mistreating them), you should contact social services or speak with an adult you can trust (like a teacher or family friend).
