Family help: I am in great fear that my parents are getting divorced.

drama queen=]]

I am in great fear that my parents are getting divorced.

I can’t sleep every night because they always fight and I always ask them what’s going on and my daddy always says, “Your mom and I have a lot of problems.” My mother tells me that my daddy is not the same, and I believe my mother, but it’s not just my daddy that’s changed. Every single person in our household except for my baby sister has a negative side. I will admit that I am obnoxious, don’t really listen to my parents, back talk to my parents, uncooperative, and really demanding. My brother is always complaining about having to do favors for everyone (which by the way, is just his lazy attitude). He never works hard for anything, and gets on my nerves a lot. My mother has a huge depression, she’s tired, sad, and really emotional. Sometimes she can have that negative attitude and make me feel bad, and she’s always fighting with dad and crying every single night. My daddy gets angry all the time. We can’t go out anywhere because then he’ll say that we spend a lot of time shopping , and staying out until dinnertime. He always complains that dinner isn’t ready when he returns home from work, but when food IS ready, he says, “I’m not hungry, save it for later.” He’s always in a bad mood. Please someone help me and tell me how we can bring our family back together. We fought a lot in the past but I never knew it would come this far. I don’t want our family to fall apart. I wouldn’t stand having to go to court just to see who gets custody of me. I don’t want this, not just for me, for my parents, my brother, and especially my little sister.

It’s not your fault. Probably nothing you can do. Just fulfill your own responsibilities and try to get along with others as much as possible. You can’t control the outcome of this. You’re just a kid.

a kid? I’m 16. I’m trying to save my entire family being torn apart and the only thing you can say is “there’s nothing I can do?” This isn’t just about my parent’s problems, it’s mine, it’s my brother’s, and my little sister’s. My family has NEVER had a crisis like this before, and I’m trying to solve the problem instead of letting sit there watching it get bigger. I can’t have this in my family. I know my mom and dad still love each other, but it’s not just them that’s the problem, it’s EVERYONE in our house hold with the exception of my sister.

1. help your parents as much as possible and show both of them that you love them no matter what happens.
2.if this doesn’t make them angry suggest that they go see a counselor to work their problems out

if you are a christian: pray to go to help your parents through this and ask god to bring your parents together once again.
if you arent a christain: I suggest that you look to some christian people or maybie even visit a church and ask them to praay for you. im sure that they’d be more than happy to help.

God loves you more than anything and he will never ever leave you. He will always be there for you, talk to him:)

may God bless you and know that you will be in my prayers :)

You are the kid! I’m sorry but there is nothing you can do! It is your parents who will decide what will happen.

You need to take responsibility for what is yours to take care of. Your chores, school work, part-time job, getting along, etc. The rest you must release. You cannot make things work out for your parents.

cell has a good point. no 16 year old likes the label kid, but their marriage is something between them - it doesn’t mean you stop being family, but if they can’t live together any longer, divorce is an option to consider. you don’t want them to stay together and fight the whole time…

Hi friend, I am worrying about your problem, I am very sad while you read your family situation. Try to understand your father problem, try to speak when your father calm and understand why always getting angry. And also speak with your mom.
Talk only the solution, to reduce your problem.
I got good family, my parents are understanding each other.
Your parents also will understand your family situation, you will get happy life in future.

Sorry for my poor English.

I do also think you should try and step out there and calmly talk to them, perhaps suggest them counseling
