Question the meaning of " unraveling of her parents' marriage"??

what does " unraveling of her parents' marriage" mean in the context blow?

But as excited as Hillary was for her summer of relative freedom and time spent on Gull, she was still sad inside about the unraveling of her parents' marriage.

to unravel means to come undone. Her parents are separating, or they are in the middle of a divorce.
