Solution 

$(function () {
    $("form").each(function () {
        var par_div = $(this).closest('div'); //finding the closest div
        $(this).validate({
            submitHandler: function (formbeingsubmitted) {
                $.post('process.php', $(formbeingsubmitted).serialize(), function (data) {
                    $('#results').html(data);
                    $(formbeingsubmitted).hide("slow");
                    par_div.hide('slow'); //hide the div
                });
            }
        });
    });
});

you can also use

$(this).parents('div'); instead of $(this).closest('div');

but this $(this).closest('div'); is faster
