Is there anything you can do when you think your parents are about to break up?

That’s 14 year old Brian’s dilemma this week.

He wants to know if there's anything he can or should be doing to stop that happening.
 
He says his parents – who’ve been together for 28 years - don't talk to each other much, and don’t enjoy spending time with each other anymore. In the past they’ve had massive arguments that have ended in reconciliation and promises to give each other another chance. But this time Brian fears they're not going to be able to sort out their differences—he worries they’re heading for divorce.
 
He wants to know if there's any advice he can pass onto his parents in order for them to stay together.

• As a child of fighting/divorced parents, how do you get through it?
• Is there anything you can even do as a child to prevent your parents splitting up?
• Is Brian taking on too much responsibility for his parent's situation?
