Q: Hey, first of all, thanks so much for reading this.
My parents fight ALL the time. I feel so terrible for my mom because she raises all three kids without any of my dads help. My dad is always out working..i think. He hates spending time with the family. Also, if he is having an issue with anyone in the family, he does not talk about it. He is one of those people that does not talk about how he feels. It is very irritating because there is always tension between my parents and I can always sense it. Last night, my dad told my mom that marrying her was the worst mistake of his life. Today, (mothers day) they are not speaking. At all. I would rather them get a divorce then them staying together unhappily. What should I do?

Thanks~

What happens between your parents is up to whether your mom is going to take it or if your dad decides that he should divorce your mom to fix his 'mistake'.

I doubt that your dad meant what he said, but you have to wait until your mom decides that she's had enough with his constant bickering while trying to raise you and your siblings. The truth is that you have no control in what happens between your parents. I'm sure you'd be glad to take them to sign divorce papers but you can't do that.

The best that you can do is try not complaining so much about things. If she wants to eat something from a place you don't like, just eat their once in a while. But I want to make this clear: Don't let your mom's unhappiness keep you from talking about your problems or if you need advice. I'm not suggesting that you shouldn't ask her for help when you need it. You matter too.

bio

My name is Erin and I am now 18 years old. You may realize through out looking at my column, some of you love me and some of you flat out hate me. There's really no gray area with me I guess you can say.

I haven't given advice here in so long and it's only because I got caught up in life. But I'm more mature than I ever thought I could be.
So anyway I'm here again. It's been a long time, but I still love giving advice and still plan on it in the future.

Everyone should feel free to Private Message me for advice, I can be harsh, but I'm always trying to help someone by giving them the truth they need.

About My Ratings:
I enjoy ratings. And if I ask a question on here, I always rate the person. If you work hard to give advice, you deserve to be rated.
