But you don't know for sure if this will actually happen. So slow down and try to ask one of your parents how everything has been. Don't try to bring up the e-mails or your concern with their fighting. You don't want to make one of them start thinking about this more and be upset. Even if they say that they are fine and that everything is great, let that be.
If what you are saying about your mom not caring aboyt what your dad does for her is true, you'll have to let your dad see that. Nobody else really can except him.
Sometimes giving them a hug every once in a while could make their day. So tell them you love them or give them a hug. I know this won't solve their problems, but it will make everything a little bit better.
Now, if you are too upset about this, then maybe it's time to tell a parent that it's really hard to concentrate on everything lately because of what's going on between them. Parents usually don't want their kids to know about the problems because they don't want the kids to worry or be upset because they care so much. But this sounds like it's bothering you.

Talk as a family and figure out what your problem is before trying to solve it. As parents, they have the responsiblity of taking care of their child and handling problems in the family. If all comes to worse, you should advise them to see a marriage counselor. [ Altruistic's advice column | Ask Altruistic A Question ]
