Things just added up and made for a horrible day of thoughts.
Although I did drink an entire bottle of wine and two PBRs, so I'm feeling better now.

My parents split when I was 5, so I was kinda lucky in that I got used to it quickly. I have some friends whose parents split when they were teenagers, and they didn't want it to happen at the time, but... I've had other friends whose parents have stayed together "for the good of the children". The atmosphere of family in that house died a horrible death of squabbling and irritability. If they've got far enough that they're considering Divorce, then they've really spent long enough living in the same place, and it'd be far worse if they stayed together and ended up hating each other's guts.
If they're still amiable enough with each other to work it out calmly without needing lawyers to do the talking, you're pretty lucky. My parents will only communicate via Registered Letter, graduations are awkward :/ If they divorce, and keep being friends, you'll be in a much better position than if they stayed together and ended up never speaking to each other again.
