Question about parents, marriage, and divorce - need sound advice?

Today my parents informed me that they were now going to sleep in different rooms. From what I can see, there's been some stress in the relationship and they've been arguing. They also told me that they were going to go to therapy again. I'd had no idea about all this until they told me. Are these signs of an impending divorce? Normally I wouldn't post something like this online, but I've done some google searches and the only websites I've found have been signs of divorce from the spousal standpoint.Question about parents, marriage, and divorce - need sound advice?
It could be, but the fact that they are doing therapy speaks volumes. They obviously care for each other and want to work on things so be thankful for that. The best you can do is support them and be happy that they are trying. Express to them that you want them to be happy and will love them no matter what but do NOT get involved with their issues. That is what the therapist is for. You may want to buy them the movie Fireproof as a gift of encouragement. My parents are currently separated and they are trying to work it out as well so if you want to chat or vent feel free to email me.
