Question by RichardClaptonFan: Help!!! What should I do?
What should I do??? My parents are fighting and arguing all the time. I am in my about to be a teenager and they have been arguing all my life. They just yell, and scream and it gets really bad. My father would NEVER hit my mother and never has.. but he is a really bad swearer. For example, both my parents don’t like the other’s parents very much, but both my Grandfathers are deceased, one in my lifetime and one not. Anyway, my Dad gave it to my Mum’s mum over the phone (while I wasn’t around… Thank God, it would have been pretty bad) and my Mum was quite upset. Yesterday, it was my brother’s 9th bday. My Dad’s mum came over today because she loves both of us and would do ANYTHING for us, and she always cooks for me when I go to her house etc. My Mum said to my Dad before we went to pick her up (she’s 86 and doesn’t drive) that he take my brother take her house, instead of her coming here (He has Autism and wouldn’t really care if she came over anyway). My father told her to shut up. Then, when she came over, my brother just stayed upstairs the whole time, as my Mother predicted. She said ‘hi’ to my Mum and she just nodded her head and made a noise. Then family wars began, my dad got pi$ $ ed off with my Mum, my dad was swearing like hell, all in front of me and then my father said we can talk about this before you leave. Then the rest, as they say, is Ancient History.
