about a week ago, my parents were fighting. it was so bad that me and my sister had to call my grandparents to tell them that we would like to sleepover. our parents tried to work it out but i don't know what will happen. also the next day when my dad saw us, he started crying and saying that he loves us. it was weird though to see my dad crying but i thought something was going on. yesterday i went blueberry picking with my parents and my sister. i wasn't really up to it but my mom said privately to me that we did this to be together and we don't have to be together and not have my father.
i am really scared now. please can you help me?
ty in advance. 13/f

Lola answered Tuesday August 8 2006, 1:51 am: hey,
I don't want you to worry. I have been in this situation alot before. Its simply that your parents had this huge fight at first which was on the verge of ending with a divorce. But then they thought of you and your sister, and they didn't want to break down the family just for your sake. They wanted you to grow up and have one nice family with a father and a mother together. And thats why you all went to pick blue berries together, so you would be together as you always were. Both your parents realised after the fight,how much they had exaggerated and know they just want the best for you. So they probably sorted things out together and know everything is back to normal. But they feel alittle guilty because they hadn't thought of you at first, so now they are making it up for you and showing you that you are all together. And thats something nice, you shouldn't worry. [ Lola's advice column | Ask Lola A Question ]
bettyboopstr answered Tuesday August 8 2006, 1:42 am: I agree with younggrandma. I also think that maybe you could talk to your mom one on one about the situation. I would ask her if its ok for you to have somewhere to go so that you don't have to hear it. It's hard listening to all the fighting and very scary. If you tell your mom or father this maybe they will try to do it elsewhere or get you a counselor. It does sound like they love each other and I am glad that you are able to go see your grandparents. The biggest suggestion I have for you is to pray really hard about the situation and be strong for whatever may come your way. I hope things work out for you and your family. It sounds like its a good one with the blueberries and all. I sure wish that was my life... [ bettyboopstr's advice column | Ask bettyboopstr A Question ]
wally answered Tuesday August 8 2006, 1:18 am: well i'm 13 and my parents
are always fighting.
i think you should ask them how long thay've
been together and why they fell in love in
the first place.
i'm sure you're parents love each other.
but are under a lot of stress.
just talk to them about it.
i'm sure you'll be ok. [ wally's advice column | Ask wally A Question ]
karenR answered Tuesday August 8 2006, 1:07 am: It sounds like your parents may be having a hard time right now. It also sounds like they are trying to work out their problems. This is very good!
Please try not to worry about it to much. Being married can be hard work and it needs worked on all the time. They aren't giving up so you don't either. It isn't unusual or anything. Think positive. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
