i think the really hard thing for you as an adult in this situation is that you can see the full picture, so of course you want to fix it. my advice is to try not to get too involved, because you might have the tools but you won't be able to use them for anything other than clogging the gears (boom!). only they can fix it, and maybe they're really at a stage when they can't, idk. i don't know about your parents but my mum never takes my advice (unless someone else offers her the same advice at a later date, grrr it's infuriating), i think it's just a parent thing. i'm saying this because the best case scenario would be to keep your relationship with both parents intact, which means not antagonising one or the other, which is really hard to avoid if you're too involved.

remaining friends is definitely the best case scenario. i'm kind of just boggling at it, because your parents lasted so long and, well, no one wants to be alone as they grow older. and it's not like one of them is cheating or beating the other up (..er i really hope not. & believe me this is super traumatic & involves The Law & other horrid things), as in they don't have another relationship to turn to. i just say this because my mother is bitterly lonely, and my father is marrying (we're all wtf about the marrying...) a control freak.

if there's one thing i understand it's divorce!

awwww i'mma be on your photo wall~ let's take lots. we should record a video blog too. me and kriss did that and i always watch back over it and grin.
