parental issues

ok so my parents hvae been fighting a lot lately but they never used to. but its been getting so bad that I get woken up on a morning and I sleep in the basement and they are on the top floor. and lately if they dont wake me up my eight year old sister comes down crying and then ..wakes me up… theyve confronted me about it a few times and theyve cried so I’ve just sat there holding back my tears and breathing deeply and what not. but my question is that I dont know if I should confront THEM about how I feel about it or if I should leave it a little longer (its been going on for about a week and a half now). I know this question was long but I could just use some advce.

Answer #1

Tell them it hurts you and your siblings very much to see them fight so much. Ask them if they are going to break up or what is all this fighting about?

Answer #2

I think you need to talk to them about it. Obviously they’re having problems and it may lead to divorce but they need to know that it’s hurting their children and that’s not right.

Answer #3

im going through the same, and in all honesty CONFRONT THEM. you will feel like the weight of the world has been lifted above you..

Answer #4

Instead of “confronting” them…maybe just inform them that the fighting is upsetting your little sister (and yourself)…A ten day fight is a long one, even in married life, so something important is going on…you might want to hold off a for a few more days, to see if they finally resolve it…

There were very few fights between my parents that we kids could actually “hear”…but I remember when they did happen, we’d all get scared and crawl into one bed…Pull your sis in and let her know it will be alright…

Answer #5

which ever parent you get along most with or the nicest one who you can go to and talk about their relationship ask em to tone it down and its bothering you,and you hate seeing your sibling(s) upset , and see what they say,if it continues, your going to have to tell them that your making you and your sister upset,and if they can just agree on things,

Answer #6

well. this same thing happend to me too. I hated it so much. butt for me it was a step dad… they were fighting for awhile… and I wanted to run away. but I didnt. he would throw things but I knew he wouldnt hit my mom. uhm… I would confront your mom about it.. that is what I did. and things are good now. hope it helped you out.. :]

Answer #7

well… the issue seems to bother both you and your sister, and it’s just not right for them to leave you hanging in between like this. sit either one of them down, whomever your closest with, and tell them how it’s effecting you and your sister, maybe even ask them what’s going on, and if they like.. comfort them and help them resolve the problem… I think that’s what they need, but get to them when they aren’t in the middle of a fight and once they’ve cooled down! hope things get better!
