Question Posted Sunday September 25 2005, 2:04 am

im scared.
my parents are in a fight. THEY FIGHT ALL THE TIME. they cant go at least 3 months without having a huge fight. theyve fought for as long as i remember. i always cry when they fight cause they yell so much, and say such horrible things. but they ALWAYS get over it, and forget it ever happened. but my dad has such a bad temper. he doesnt abuse her or hit her, he just breaks things when hes mad. and today, someone punched him becus there was a party across the street, and some guy decided to be a wisecrack and park right in front of our garage. so my dad asked him to move it, and the guy punched him, and my dad punched back for self defense. and this really scared me. but im so sick of my parents fighting. i dont know what to do, or who to go to becus they ALL SAY THE SAME THING;; "itll be ok. theyll get over it." or "you should talk to them about it and how you feel." but NOTHING I DO OR SAY will help them. ive tried so many times. i really need help. i just feel like bursting out in tears. PLEASE. PLEASE. PLEASE HELP ME.

mm, i know how you feel.
my dad has a horrible temper.

yeah, talking to them about how you feel - i know - that doesn't accomplish a thing.

my dad sits there for an hour yelling at my mom when she did absolutely nothing. he makes sure to call her every name he can possibly think of. it used to really upset me, but it doesn't now. i just try to be out of the house as much as possible.
whenever they're fighting, just call one of your friends and go to their house. or just go for a walk. and if you can't do either of those, just go to your room and lock your door. do you have a brother or sister? talk to them about it.

maybe your dad's bi-polar (it's when he's all happy one minute, and then freaking out the next) or something. i swear mine is, but it's not like he'd actually go get help for it. but hopefully your dad's not like mine. ;)
my friends dad sounds exactly like your dad, and he's bi-olar. so, i wouldn't be surprised if your dad is. try researching it and see if any of the symptoms fit your dad.

do you know much about your dad? well, is his dad still living? you could try calling him and talking to him about it, or asking him about when your dad was younger. sometimes people act this way because of something they went through when they were younger - a parent died, their parents treated them the same way, etc. maybe if you found out more about his past, you could help him.

good luck. :)

Every relationship has its bad patches my mum and dad fight too. try telling your dad how you feel when he has one of his moments and if he realises he is hurting your feelings then he may stop or calm down a bit.

Wow. This is really hard. there is nothing you can do though to stop this. talk to a friend. let things out and you will feel better. I know it would be hard to talk about it to your parents because it would be very aquward. So like i said just let it out to someone you are close to, or try to get out of the house when you know tension is high. I hope i helped and good luck! :)

I'm sorry to say that there's nothing you can do to make them stop fighting. If they fight its their fault. I know that sounds harsh, but my parents used to fight all the time for about two and a half years straight. So what I did at first was cry a lot, but then you learn that it aint your fault. You dont have shit to do with it. If they want to fight, let them. In your life you stand alone, even if they care about you a lot, they cant help fighting - and it shouldn't get you down. If they say they're going to be ok then they are, if they're not, hey, I know it sounds hard - but dont have anything to do with it. You dont have to. You shouldn't suffer. If they get divorced, know that its for the better - instead of just hearing them fight alll the time. Its hard, but if they dont love each other you cant make them. And then again, they got married and had you for a reason - because they loved each other. But maybe not anymore, and you have to learn to accept that. Good luck hun, I hope it all goes well.

If they've fought for this long, they probably won't stop now. If talking to them has never worked, I say that you're just going to have to start ignoring it. Leave a note so you don't interuppt them and go for a walk while they're fighting, or turn on your headphones really loud. If anything, you can learn something from them and you'll know not to do this when you start getting into serious relationships.

Im very sorry to hear this When I was younger my parents use to always fight and I hated it too. There really is no way to stop your parents from fighting because its really there choice and there problem. Maybe you can ask them when they fight to keep it to them selves and I know you said your dad has a temper but tell him to try. Dont hold in your anger and sadness you need let it out. Dont get hysterical though cry in your room write down how you feel in a letter. I hope I helped in a way. If you ever have any other ?'s or need advice please email me at loverpinkprincess@yahoo.com, Good luck
