My mom and dad argue a lot but now some family issues have come up on my dad's side of the family and his brother needs money because his wife died in a car accident recently and he is in need. Anyways he is asking our family for a lot of money and my dad really cares about him and so he gave it to him without my mom knowing- and he tried to tell my mom but she was busy and had to leave. So now my mom knows that he gave the money to him without telling. And she is upset because we can't afford that kind of money to just loan out. And she is arguing cuz he is being dishonest. And my dad is angry because he loves his bro and he gave the money cuz he knew he needed it bad- and he trid to tell my mom, but my mom. Then this afternoon she said, "I don't care what u spend that money on, but i want u to ask me first" and now my dad thinks my mom doesn't care about his family at all, and so he screamed at my mom to just get out and go! Then he pushed her and that's when i went to my room and started crying my eyes out beecuz they have fought before but never physically and so i cried my eyes out and i left with my mom to pick up my brothers from practice and when we got back my dad was gone- I dunno where he went. I really hope our family is okay, i especially hope my dad is alright too. What is going on here?¿? How come they are both losing it?¿? Can i do anything? Or can i only pray for them? I'm really scared!!!

icey0990 answered Wednesday August 11 2004, 12:28 am: I feel for you..my parents had their share of bad fights, but we pulled through and they are great now. Maybe your dad just needed some air and time to think. This is the first phsyical fight? I think he`ll be back...probably just is worried about his brother..adults can explode and act crazy/dumb also. I would just stand by your mom and brothers and pray maybe. Dont feel like you have to do anything..let your parents work it out.
Best of luck..please write back if the situation gets worse or if you wana talk!
