    Your mum is being selfish, you need to tell her that. Dumping her suicidal thoughts on you is no way for a mother to behave.

    Tell then to sit down with you, behave like adults for 5 minutes and listen to you.

    Tell them how you feel, be honest. Do not tell them not to argue or to stay together, tell them to resolve things one way or another.

    Then point out that they had to be told this by a 14 year old kid. Get a drink, go upstairs to your room and breathe deep, leave them to it.

    Easier said than done I know, but there it is.
