Hi, my parents very recently told me that they are separating. They haven't mentioned divorce yet, but when I asked my mom if she still loved my dad and if she didn't want to divorce him, and she didn't exactly answer. Instead, she said that she thought that no matter what happened she believes this will be good because she was miserable. I don't want my mom to be miserable, but I really don't know if I can handle my parents getting a divorce. I didn't even notice that my parents were having problems. I don't know I guess I just need someone to talk to.

Hey, kbrimull! You can talk about your feelings on this thread, if you would like. I think someone will come along who understands what this situation is like before too long.

In its own way, not noticing there has been marital strife, does show both your parents have taken caution and care, in not displaying their struggles, in front of you.
Usually, as separation or divorce, comes about, so doesn't the truth of the struggling.
Separation, can also be a time, for a couple to work through their struggles, either reconnecting or parting ways.

My parents divorced, when I was a kid. It's mind boggling, when young. Mind boggling, for adults, as well.

Hopefully, you've a support network around you? Aunts, uncles, grandparents, someone to turn to, to help walk you through it. Your parents are going through their own strife, someone outside of it, can be hugely influential in your healing process.
