Parents fighting.

[abusedcat]

I can't take this anymore.
I'm sick of hearing my parents crying, doors slamming, the awkward dinners, everything; it's all caused me to slip into the deepest depression of my life, I have trouble even getting out of bed. I can't eat, I shake, I get emotional easier than ever before.
It's just so sad how immature and childish your role models can be.

I know what you mean, but I doubt I can comprehend to the same extent. During our vacation to California this year, my parents got in a huge fight over the stupidest shit ever. It effectively ruined the vacation. They acted like the five year old's I had to take care of at summer camp. My parents don't fight constantly, but when they do, the fights are brutal, and each time they reach closer to the brink of divorce.

I really do wish I could offer advice, but I can't. I don't what to do in the situation.

[Fallinto_rhythm]

So then why don't you go out for dinner then!

[tomakebelieve]

Honestly, you can't get overwhelmed by your parent's relationship--even if they fucking hate each other, chances are they still love you. If their fighting has been so bad lately, why don't you tell them "Hey--I don't want to see you two be like this anymore. Please get some conseling or something."

[Kassie09]

Talk to your parents about it, let them know how it's really really getting to you, maybe they just don't realize. Perhaps they'll go to some therapy and try to get your family back in order..or at the very least, not fight in front of you anymore.

ha, epic.

[Plodbax]

Dude, that sucks.

I feel for you man

[Burning Star IV]

I think the only thing to do is talk to them.

[Ravenous]

That sucks bro. Sorry.

I've always been really lucky considering how supportive my family is on whatever I do. Talk to your parents and tell them what they're doing is really messing with you, because from what it looks like, it really doesn't sound like this will stop soon. Good luck man.

OP is saddest post I've read in a while.

[updownleftright]

you're 18? surely you must be finishing up high school soon, time to move out!

[smithariko]

you're 18? surely you must be finishing up high school soon, time to move out!

maybe he can't move out, grant

[Willy McFurgle]

bitch slap em both and tell em how it is.

[ReadyForAction]

I was ready to call this a fake
Listen to everyone that says you should talk to them
and really try to go away for school

[kaycey]

hang in there, every family goes through a phase like this, even mine. just do the best you can with what you can.

[.invisible ink.]

that's what I came in here to say.

[theseacaptain]

mine fight all the time, and my dad just goes to drink

lately i've been telling them off when they start fighting

but my dad just told me to fuck off last time

[swt_catastrophe]

it happens to everyone.
or they remember it from when they were younger before the split.
turn up the music and get out of the house whenever you can.

[A Love American]

My parents divorced when I was around 7, they still fight all of the time (shared custody) and it really is horrible. They do act like children. Sometimes I really just want to tell them to get the fuck out of the house, I mean, my mom lays around all day and I fucking clean everything and take care of my siblings, and my dad had no job for 2 years, just sat around playing World of Warcraft all day, and now wants everybody's sympathy for being poor, when he brought it on himself. Both my parents are some of the most self absorbed people I have ever witnessed. It really makes me doubt that I will be able to do any better if I am nothing but the both of them put together. I really can blame all of my problems on them, to tell you the truth.

i hope you're kidding.
yeah, parents fuck up. a lot.
and most people i know have screwed up families.
but blaming all your problems on that is just an excuse.
grow up. your life is your own responsibility.

[colorlesscliche]

Yeah man, as I type this I can hear mine yelling. It doesn't help that my mothers voice annoys the fuck out of me. I'm one of the most calm, patient, down to earth dudes, and everyone in my family is just so loud and angry and it bothers me so much.

[colorlesscliche]

But to offer advice, I'd say something to them. Something as simple as "Can you guys not yell at each other when I'm here?"

[SoggY ThE OnE]

To OP:
Dude that sucks.
this can be very traumatic to you, take it from me i know. My dad used to beat my mom whenever i was a little kid, it was horrific. One time my dad even busted a vase over my mom's head!
Needless to say I fucking despise the man.
But, seriously talk to them about it. I was only 8 and i thought that it was normal.

[bung]

Their anger hurts my ears
Been runnin' strong for seven years
Rather than fix the problems
They never solve them
It makes no sense at all
I see them everyday
We get along so why can't they?
If this is what he wants and it's what she wants
Then why's there so much pain?

[whining chorus]

Why, in a world that already hurts so much, must there be this pain? :-(

[atticus1492]

You know that it is your fault, right?

[rob_mylo]

You know that it is your fault, right?

sorry guy that started this thread, but i laughed so hard at this

[altemose09]

dude sorry to hear

[altemose09]

also i recently got nothing to prove and am loving it

[Laur3l]

ha my parents... my mom has been with my step-dad for like 12 years now and he's a secret alcoholic and addicted to pain meds. he told my mom when she threatened to get a divorce that he was going to commit suicide. he was in the mental institute for a big four days. <-(they fight all the time now).. they've been fighting for as long as i can remember and they finally got legally separated because my step-dad is a bum and doesn't have a job and my mom pays for everything. now he's over here all the time just fighting with my mom. it sucks

[eHaMpToN]

the highlight of your fathers day is masturbating in the shower.

[brandnew=love]

turn up your music, always works for me...

[Renee]

Have you talked to anyone about how you feel and what you're going through? Not necessarily professional help, but just anyone with ears that you feel you can trust. I've found it hard to be heard at home, so, when there's fighting in my house, I try to get out, find a friend, and just rant about it.
