Deep breaths. Breathe in... Breathe out... In... Out...Put on some headphones and listen to relaxing music. Let your mind float away.
I've gone through the same thing man. My parents argued and argued and argued and I could not stand it. They ended up getting a divorce, and though it was hard, I realized it was the best thing for them because all they did was argue. You just have to let them make the best decision for themselves, whatever it is. They'll always still be there for you though. Good luck with everything.
<span style="font-family:Arial">The funny thing is, my parents never argued. I've never witnessed them having an argument, but they got divorced after 13 years of marriage. Honestly, I don't mind having divorced parents. It's not nearly as bad as people make it out to be.My parents still talk as friends, and stay in touch. Maybe that's why it has been easier for me then most people. Good luck bro, hopefully everything works out.</span>

sucks dude. My parents have been separated for a few months and are getting divorced pretty soon. The good thing about it is that they don't fight anymore. The bad thing about it is that they take their agression out on me instead. The thing about it is that I don't know anybody better behaved than me and yet I still get constantly yelled at. I never raise my voice, neglect a chore, leave without calling, etc, and they still find reasons to get angry at me.
Divorced parents is no big thing. My parents have been divorced since I was a small kid and ive never minded even if they argue its no big thing. you need to chill out, sh*t could be much worse.

That really sucks man - it's never a good thing to see the two people you trust/love the most argue with each other. Hope sh*t picks up for u and your family.I am surprised by the amount of divorces that happen...it's excessive to say the least.
My parents are divorced. It's not that bad. Live with my mom, have fun. Get my dad to buy me whatever crap I want.
My parents divorced when I was seven. I had this weird out of body experience where I floated to the ceiling after the man I'm named after slammed the living room door. I just stared down at the silence of my mother, little brother, and me on this mammoth of a chair.You gotta take the bad with the good, worse to worst.The most proactive thing to do is quietly ask them what all the arguing means whenever they are in a room together. Talk real and if they get pissed at you at least they're not tearing each other apart.If you're a sneakier sort, perhaps you and/or your sister could plan a surprise for them. Maybe alleviate that family pressure that's squeezing them. Parents always get off on seeing what great kids they've raised.
Powerballin, you and your sister need to sit down with your parents and tell them how ya'll feel. I can't tell you how it feels because my parents have been split up forever and I never see my daddy and frankly I don't think its a big deal (PrimeTime knows, most African American kids don't know what it is or never see divorce), but I know what it can do to people. My ex GF's parents got divorced years ago and she is still going through the pains and emotions of it. Just don't worry about it, things have a strange way of working out.

I remember when my parents got in a big fight and my mom cried all the way home, it was at the Bucks game, my dad was obsessed with getting to the car quickley and damn near lost us in the crowd and my mom just couldn't take it. It was when I was just a kid and I remember my mom and I crying and she said everything was going to be alright. I was really scared as well. There's nothing worse than that feeling when your a kid. It really sucks when parents can't comprimise and work out the small stuff, my parents are great at it and they don't fight much anymore. I hate it when parents fight in front of kids because little kids have no idea whats going on and they think things up...it's just a sh*tty thing to do. It's just too bad Powerballin that your parents fight like that in front of you, I'm not going to pretend to know what they fight about or what they are going through....but it's like, look at what you have, you have a few kids, a home, a good life, work it out f*cking christ. I had to deal with this stuff with my friend Scott growing up and I hated his parents for what they did to him.
Wow, I would have never thought that so many people had there parents divorced. Hope everything goes well for you PB.

That sucks for you and all the people here with divorced parents. I am lucky enough to have parents that never fight (knock on wood).
