34 and dealing with my parents current divorce

Hi everyone. New here. Not 100% sure exactly how this works but I'm going to give it a go. I am 34 years old I have a teenage daughter and I live on my own. And I am now currently dealing with my parents pending divorce. They have been married for 36 years. I have two other siblings. On March 8 my father had a talk with my mom and told her that he was unhappy in the marriage and wanted to file for divorce. He also let her know that he had found somebody else and that he was happy and that he wanted to be with her. That woman is also married and told her husband she wants a divorce. Since March 8 I have constantly thought about our families current situation. I put a lot of thought and effort and feelings into it and made the decision to move forward having a relationship with my dad and my mom. I have tried very hard to keep those two relationships separate. I have met my dad's new girlfriend and have no problem whatsoever maintaining a relationship with her as well. Over the past few weeks I have been struggling with my relationship with my mom and my sister. because they do not have the same feelings as I do and they both are not ready to decide how they are going to move forward, it has become extremely difficult to be around them. I am very much struggling with all of this and I am not sure who to talk to or what to do or how to handle the situation.
