I am not upset about the divorce, but i am upset that my dad has to go through all this again.my question is, is it unreasonable to hope for the possibility of my parents getting re-married? do you think there is even a chance? I know I'm eighteen and it may sound childish, but in all honesty, is it an unreasonable wish?

 Hi again Evol Angel,
I understand how you feel, you want stability back in your life. Unfortunately after some 14 years, chances for reconciliation are very low. You need to be strong for your younger siblings, not be indulging in this kind of fantasy. Certainly you should not be pressuring your Dad or Mom. Dad needs time before getting involved with anyone.

Evol Angel is verified as being by the original poster of the question just an added fact... my step-mom is horrible to him. he has been miserable for almost two years now. he tried to go to marriage counseling but my step-mom wouldn't put forth the effort.

It all depends on the circumstances of both divorces. I know you look at your Dad and you're hurt for him, but to be divorced twice may indicate that he has problems committing, or that there are factors within the marriages that he can't deal with, or that he's making the wrong choices. There are so many reasons.
He could find happiness with a third, but it's probably more importantfor him to just spend time on himself now, and if the right woman comes along, he'll see her.
