my family can be considered happy even if we're not rich.. but sometimes i thought of having my mom and dad separated would be much better when they are having arguments even with small things which shows that they are no longer in love. my father is also very strict and i nevr enjoyed my teenage life.it would have been better if i'm living only with my mom. very childish huh. but i just can't keep on asking myself why is it a big deal for others to have a broken family? it's not always happy to have a complete family.

I don't think it's a big deal. My parents are separated since I was 5 but my mother has always very caring and I had a very happy childhood. Some people don't think it's alright though like my grandmother tells me when I start school again to not tell people my parents are separated but just that my dad is away on business. I think it's completely normal but if possible I also wish my parents weren't separated. If anything it would be better for my mother to have a partner to grow old with.

A family is said to be broken when the parents are separated. It should also include unhappy husbands and wives. Your comments are a classic example of the pain and suffering that rains down on a family when there is strife and turmoil in the home. You have one advantage. As long as your parents are together, there is hope that things can improve between them.
It is not childish to wish for a happy home. When your parents are calm, try telling them how you feel. Maybe they will listen. There is the expression "Out of the mouths of babies come words of wisdom."
Good luck.
