My biological parents divorced when I was 2. I don't even remember thinking about it much as I grew up - it was just one of those things I thought was natural with people, I guess.
My dad married again when I was about 7 years old. They lived quite happily for many years, and even birthed the creature known as my step-sister. When I was a Junior in High School, Kari (my step-mother) came to school and asked that I be pulled out of my AP mock exam so she could talk to me. She basically explained to me that they were getting a divorce and that I knew this even before my father did. That really fucked the rest of my day.
My father had just sat down to lunch with a large group of friends when the waitress approached him with a large envelope. He opened the envelope, immediately saw the bold words at the top of the page that read 'dissolution of marriage' and promptly called Kari to leave a very confused but benine message on her cell-phone; something to the tune of "I don't quite know what happened here, I'm a bit confused right now so we need to talk." He then went home.
Little did he know that she had filed for a restraining order on him and had expected him to thrash the house in anger. I told her earlier that day that I would take the chance and go home on my own instead of have her drive me somewhere - I trust my father, after all. I did not come home to an angry man - I came home to a man with sullen eyes whose only care was that my sister and I would be ok during this. I broke the news to him that he wasn't allowed in the house because of the restraining order - he didn't read the fine print. We prompty packed our bags and headed to my Uncle's household, but it was too late. Kari called the police because she had evidence that he had entered the household (violation of restrainign order) and had attempted to contact her (violation of restraining order). My dad spent 3 nights in jail because of that and was sentenced to 2 years of probation.
The day she served him divorce papers was the day of their 10th anniversary and absolutely NOBODY saw it coming.
Be glad both of your parents seem to have come to an agreement, kiddo. That was not a happy time for my "family" 
Somehow, though, you just send it all below. You swallow what life has to give and you move on, boats against the current.
