Today, my mother told me: "If you didn't exist, I wouldn't stay with your father". So it's MY fault if she's having problems with him? FML

Agreed with #3. My mom has once said that to me before too, but I have my utmost respect for her to try keeping the marriage together for my autistic brother's sake. My dad sure isn't the most sensitive guy out there, and I myself isn't in a good relationship with my dad either. But kudos to my dad for sticking around and paying for my brother's needs too, I suppose. I guess both of them are much better than those parents who dumps their mentally-challenged kids to the government.

that isn't a mature way of dealing with it! I think you're rationalizing not "understanding" what the parent is saying. the parent is passing blame. and how is telling your kid "hey, i am miserable and if you weren't around i'd be long gone" helpful in any way? even if it is true, saying that only makes a child feel crappy and responsible for things s/he has no control over.

you guys aren't understanding. the parent is dealing with the husband so their child can be happy

My mom says that.but she means that she loves me too much to have me see her divorce my dad. That would make me super sad, so she doesn't do it.

Uhm, no, it means that she's not getting a divorce because she cares about you too much. How did you get that it's your fault out of that.

No, that's not what she said. She has problems with him and doesn't leave him because of you. It's right there in what you wrote.

No. Shes saying its your fault that she hasnt left him. Which is still stupid. If shed be better off without him, she should leave. Having divorced/seperated parents isnt that bad. Some parents just cant make it work. Happens.
