this is a more than serious matter. IF your parents argue belligerently you should talk and discuss the this situation together. problems like this may seem inexorable but should try to having a family meeting. Also, tell them it's anbormal for kids not able to go outside. If you think this is avery serious matter, and the arguing could possibly lead to divorce; you should talk to your family immediately. You growing kids; you deserve rights aswell. Also, talk to them averly right away [ NaptownPrep's advice column | Ask NaptownPrep A Question ]

when I was nine my parents got divorced. And right before the day my dad left I don't think there was a night they didnt fight. I was always really scared and I didn't know what to do, they never fought in front of me, always when I was in bed, but I always heard them. So I think you should take your siblings out of the room and tell them that it's not their fault your parents fight and that lots of parents fight. Explain that its okay to be scared andthey can always talk to you. No matter how young they are, do taht whether they are liek a couple of months or a couple of years being comforting always helps even if they don't understand.
Then talk to your parents. Sit them down one day and tell them calmly that you understand that all people fight, but you dont think its right that they fight when you guys are around. Tell them that if they need to fight they should go outside or at least in their bedroom. Tell them that you can't tell them how to run their life, but ask them if they think they should go to councilling or something.
This is a tough situation, and always remember its not your fault. If you need any help, go talk to a teacher at school or another adult and they can maybe help with the situation. Good luck, and I hope I helped, Love ya,

DepthofHeart answered Saturday April 21 2007, 9:16 pm: When my parents fight I've learned to just stay out of their way and not get into the middle of their fighting. So just stay away from them until they cool down, if you don't they'll find something to yell at you about. [ DepthofHeart's advice column | Ask DepthofHeart A Question ]
