As their daughter. Is there anything i can do to help my parents fix their relationship? They don't want to talk to me about their situation but i know there is something wrong because they are showing some signs of a troubled marriage (http://www.divorceguide.com/overview/signs-of-a-troubled-marriage.html) according to the article that I've read. I don't want them to end up getting a divorce. Please help.

Hi Cupcake

I am sorry that you are feeling this way.

I don't know how old you are, but there is nothing you can do to help your parent's fix their relationships. This is just the same as there is nothing you can do if your partner wants to leave.

Every marriage has its good time and bad times. Perhaps they are going through a bad time. I was listening to something on the radio today that said that 5 years after a couple were thinking of seperating and didn't their relationship is back to normal.

I feel that if you start pushing too much you will make things happen that would have been dealt with over the course of time.

Leave the relationship alone, unless you know there is abuse.

All the best

Sally
