Fighting parents worry me


Check these out, too...

  • My dad started smoking...again
  • My mom read my diary without permission!
  • Bombshell: My bud told me her dad abuses her
  • Does my brother have ADD, or is he just annoying?
  • I'm following Mom's no-makeup rule, but sis is sneaking it!
My parents have been fighting a lot. I’m usually asleep, but I wake up when I hear them. I’m afraid they’re going to get a divorce.
 
Dear Concerned Daughter,
There’s not much a girl can do when her parents fight. It helps to know that while their problems affect you, they are not caused by you. Their fighting is not your fault. And some fighting is natural. You and your siblings or friends may be better than endless shouting. Try not to become the confidante of either parent. If one trashes the other, say, “I know you need to vent, but I don’t want to hear about that.” Both parents will appreciate extra smiles or hugs from you now. Hang in there. Can you arrange a sleepover or getaway?

SERIOUS STUFF? For serious issues, don’t wait. Visit our HELP! page now.

MOD!
sorry this is long...
my mom has been crying a lot lately but shes been trying to hide it from me. last night i woke up after dinner from a nap and i heard them arguing. at first i thought it was a nightmare, and then i realized it was real. then my mom burst out crying, saying shes been seeing a therapist and she wants pills because she cant stand the pain anymore even thought she wanted to work through this. my dad called her a p word for crying and said he "did it" and didnt want to be with her anymore. it sounded like cheating. then he started saying about getting divorce but with more hate than ive ever heard. i wanted to know what was going on, but i couldnt stand anymore and ran out my back door and called my friends, sobbing til they came and got me. a couple hours later i finally went home, but i almost stayed over my friends. my parents dont know i heard. i'm scared. what should i do? i almost dont want to know, both my sibling are at college and im 17 and stuck here




Hey girl, you need to talk to someone about this. Start with a friend's mom you really trust: an adult outside the house. Let your siblings know too. It's important you talk to someone outside of this and get that adult perspective. Things sound pretty rough at your place, but know it's not your fault and you shouldn't be afraid of getting help. This isn't your burden to carry alone.

xoxo

please help mee
im really sad and worried.everything is pretty stressfulright now
cuz i have to move house this month
Frown but apart from this, im really down cuz no matter
how hard i try i keep comparing myself. im the only one in my friend
group without a bf or having had there first kiss Frown no pressure! and
also i never get to go out to discos like the other girls do Frown they have such better lives than meFrown they have everything i want Frown what do i do? xcx <3




Hey there babe. As cliche as this sounds, your time will come! It's actually better to have you first kiss with a guy you really like than to settle and have your first kiss with just anyone. Try to start seeing the good in your life. I'm sure there are things you have that your friends admire. Smile

Girlie- I know EXACTLY what you're going through. My parents WERE the same way, but they got a divorce- and things are a LOT calmer. Trust me it may seem scary now but maybe a divorce is what they need to be happier. Add me as a friend if you want to talk more about it.
