yea, its me again..I forgot to ask this..Well, i know that EvErYoNe argues and fights..Since i grew up in a family that everytime someone STARTED to argue, it blew out into a fist fight and cops coming and me getting hit, so everytime ANYONE at all argues, i get REALLY shaky, crying, and everything like that! I live with my dad now, i have for 3 years and nothing like this has happened before until now, or atleast i havent noticed it..Like a few weeks ago, my dad and step-mom got into a big arguement over something and i was in my room with the door shut, but i could hear them b/c they were only on the other side of the wall..and i know that this would NEVER happen b/c they're just not this kind of people, but since everything before happened, i was scared that they would hit each other and come after me and the police would come, but i know it wouldnt happen but i still get scared..can anyone give me any help on what i should do?? I really need help on this b.c its getting so bad that i actually hated them for a minute b/c i pictured it being my real mom..i got HORRIBLE flashbacks..Please help me!! :(
sunnyville answered Monday August 15 2005, 9:07 pm: Stay calm and try not to feel resentment.One of the things you should do is have a good discussion with your parents of how it is affecting you a lot when they fight and argue.Convince them both that they need help this is just horrible they have to go to help agencies for family problems as well as you not that you did anything bad just to heal your pain and those flashbacks you have and I know what you mean by that.Take care!

xomegaroni answered Monday August 15 2005, 12:34 pm: it's completely understandable that you feel this way from your past. you juss shouldn't worry, because it isn't going to fix anything. it seems like you've been in a lot of fights and everything came out ok right? it's not too likely to happen anymore. i think you should talk to your dad and your step-mom about it. they can probably help explain it. you will get flashbacks but worrying doesn't make them go away.

Dakmor answered Monday August 15 2005, 11:47 am: =( This is really sad... I was going to say that it sounds like that scene in Westside Story where the guys are all singing to Officer Krupky, but this is too deep a story for that. Alright. You're probably going to hate me and rate me a 1 for saying this, but I think you should see a psychologist. They could really help, and then the psychologist could talk to your dad about it. Good luck! [ Dakmor's advice column | Ask Dakmor A Question ]
cUrLyHaiReDcUtiE16 answered Monday August 15 2005, 11:10 am: hello. explain to the both of them how you feel and then ask them to tone it down a little. also tell them ot to fight around you as much. its perfectly normal to get sensitive around fights since you grew up with them. if it happens at school just walk away and try not to think about it too too much. hope i have helped. please rate. and always express your feeelings. and its okay to cry.
