I find the percentage of teenagers who consider suicide to be utterly disturbing...thankfully the number that are irrational enough to proceed with it is much lower. Still, suicide rates among teens is so much higher than adults. Frightening.
Anyways...
I've been through some tough bouts with parental situations myself. I don't remember my parent's divorce (I was 3 at the time) but I remember them fighting intensely for the next 10 years until my mother passed away. It was all tough, but I got through it. I think the one bit of advice I heard most, but used least was "I'm here to talk". Believe me....USE IT! Talking about it is the best way to deal with it. Bottling it up leads to internal strife, pity, and all that bad crap.

A few things to remember, carmaster:
1) It will all work out
2) Your parents love you, and it is not your fault (Yeah, you probably think you're too old to think you might feel "guilty" for it....you're not)--Quite the contrary. Children often keep marriages together longer than they would childless.
3) In the immortal words of MBTN..."You know where to reach me"
