ADVICE | FAMILY | DEAR CAROL FAMILY

Fighting parents worry me


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?

I feel ya girl.

I'm 100% sure that the only reason my parents are together is that they had me. They fight all the time, and they have even told me that when I go to college they're going to get a divorce. My mom told me that another reason she stays is because she likes our house to much. It's really hard to live with them sometimes. My mom gets mad over the littlest things and then just goes crazy. Then my dad has to start a fight with her just so she'll stop yelling at me. I feel so bad about this.. I feel like it is all my fault that their lives are horrible. I don't know what to do. Sometimes I wish that they would just get a divorce already so that none of us would have to deal with this anymore.

Hey! My parents got a divorce like 3 years ago. We have a really good system and I see my dad nearly every day. If they do talk to them, tell them that you want to see both of them the same amount as you see the other. Hope I helped!

MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD... My mom just filed for divorce with my dad and now he wont stop calling and texting and begging for her back its starting to get really annoying... and i was talking with my mom and she said that money is gonna be really tight for awhile.. Please help. What do you think i should do?




 hey! this is going to be hard, but if your dad is trying to put you in the middle of their marriage problems you should tell your mom so that she can ask him to stop. You can talk to him about how it makes you feel too. For the money stuff just be understanding if your mom can't get you all the things she normally does. That'll help her feel less stress. good luck!
