-- Posted by belizabeth at 11:01 am on Aug. 9, 2008 When ever my mom or dad yell at me or start a fight. I know they love me but I just don't like being yelled at. It bothers me the most when they fight because a lot of times it ends bad and it invovles us kids. uggh! I wish it would stop. -- Posted by lilykristen at 11:03 am on Aug. 9, 2008 I totally feel your pain. I can't stand it when people yell at me either, I can't help it but i almost always instantly start crying. -- Posted by HelHound at 11:05 am on Aug. 9, 2008 Alot of kids go through this. And yes it is hard, and I can't guarntee the situation will get any better.  My Father and Mother are divorced, and I don't see my mother at all. I haven't seen in her nearly six years. That is for another reason though.  They were divorced a little after I was born, and for a long time, my step father was my father in my eyes. One day, my Mother and him, got in a fight....and he left. And I resented my mother for a long time. I don't anymore, but I still miss him.  Your not the only person that goes through stuff, and if you want to talk, you can always message me. -- Posted by factboy01 at 11:07 am on Aug. 9, 2008 I would go in the closet, in my room, or I would walk outside, and maybe walk down the street, and try to avoid as much verbal attacks from them as much as you possibly can. Verbal abuse is the worst form. Please try to avoid it was much as possible. Try my ideas. -- Posted by belizabeth at 11:09 am on Aug. 9, 2008 My problem is my parents are still together but a lot of the time they act seperated and it bugs me. I also have problems with my dad and I wished he didn't live in the same house as me because of how he touches me and stuff. It bugs me but I don't want to go to the cops. -- Posted by Solitude at 11:50 am on Aug. 9, 2008 I've actually never had a dad, but I'm still familiar with the situation since a lot of my friends have to go though this. I think sometimes they're angry and they take their anger out at the children,and that's when they really start harming the family. You must understand that when they fight or argue it's really not your fault or you're business. If they start fighting then just walk out of the room and let them discuss whatever they want to discuss all by themselves, and don't get involved. Let them solve their own problems, and don't worry much about them. Leave it to them. They're the ones who got married, so they're the ones who should solve their problems. If they start yelling at you or something, think about it first. Do they have a reason for it? Did you do something wrong? I know yelling isn't the best way, but we all get yelled at and sometimes we deserve it because we yell too. Don't be biased. If they really have no reason for yelling at you then tell them that. Tell them that they shouldn't take out their anger at you because it's not your fault whatever is happening. Tell them to cope with their problems and to stop using you as their emotional punching bag, because it isn't fair for you to get yelled at for no reason. It seems that the situation is really bad so if they ever have a divorce, don't oppose it. It's their decision and sometimes that's the best there is to do, sometimes that's the only way to stop it before it goes any further and it gets worse. Just know that it was their problem and that it wasn't your fault. -- Posted by Miss Prophetess at 1:34 pm on Aug. 9, 2008 If you know they love you, then they should listen to you if you tell them how you're feeling.  If you have a talk with them, maybe things will get better. -- Posted by belizabeth at 3:35 pm on Aug. 9, 2008 I have had a talk with them but they don't listen. -- Posted by Miss Prophetess at 6:07 pm on Aug. 9, 2008 They should listen if they love you! You can't give up.  You deserve to be listened to. -- Posted by belizabeth at 7:10 am on Aug. 16, 2008 I know but it's not me giving up it's them.
