Court Knee,

I can see why you'd be upset. It's never easy to see our parents fight, or be upset. I also don't think it's particularly fair for parents to dump their problems on their kids. Your Mom sounds like she has a lot of problems on her plate right now, and I know you probably don't want to be one more. But that doesn't mean that you shouldn't be getting the help you need, particularly if things are getting worse for you. Does your school have a guidance councellor you can talk to. That might help, or at least might help you figure out a way to talk to your mom about your problems.
