I’m 13, taken, and got a little bit of money on me.. ii live with both my parents.. Itz real hard to live with them, because they’re always fighting.. ii mean they get so mad at each other to tha point where they think about getting a divorce.. ii think they’re gonna leave me abandoned..

Life would be so much easier being with them.. ii just need to know should ii run away from all this emotional pain i’m having.. Help me cuz ii have no clue what to do..

Answer #1

no. the money u hav will sooner or later be gone. talk to your brother. he may have some ideas for you.

well, since you even consider running away, it is really high time you talk with a counselor who is experienced and who knows how you should handle situations for your own good and for your future too. please don’t be ashamed about opening up to a counselor or to a good friend so things will not get worse.

there is nothing you can do about your parents except telling them how you feel because they are in such a fragile situation. I am sure that your mother and your father love you but people can become “numb” sometimes especially if they are hurt or facing a real big problem.

if you can, be an instrument of peace between them. Sometimes it can be as simple and at the same time as boring as cleaning the house, cooking them food, and plainly talking with your mother to comfort her. Yes, it would seem like pretending nothing is wrong but if you play it well and really fight for your family, God is on your side to realize your desire. They are your parents. No matter what no one can replace them. So, i just say that there is still time for you to make a difference. Too hard and too painful as of now. But you may reap goodness by your patience.

Give them time to settle whatever is bothering them..

Answer #2

no u shouldnt, because the family and friends who u’d think would support u or who said they would support u, seem to back out when its time for them to actually help u

Answer #3

No you shouldn’t run away. You will cause your parents alot of pain if you do. They will think that you could be dead or you have been kidnapped. Also you can go to jail for it and it will go on your record. Which can make getting a job harder.

Talk to your parents about it. Tell them how you feel. If not tell a counciler and then maybe have the counciler tell them for you. Try and work it out. I understand what you feel but running away and cause some harm. As said before you can go to jail. Sit down with them at dinner and try adn tell them how you feel.

Answer #4

No, I do not think you should run away. I doubt you have enough money to support yourself for very long, and you can’t live alone at your age anyway. So that means you just being living off other people, and that’s really not fair to them.

Parents fight. It does not mean they will abandon you. Talk to them about how scared you get when they fight. Counseling might help.
