My parents have been fighting since I can remember. They don't seem to know how to disagree without it turning into a fight. My dad has horrible anger issues and he used to punch holes in the wall and doors. He hasn't done that in a while, but he has broken picture frames and he broke part of the grandfather clock recently... also, my mother seems to love to provoke arguments and kind of make things worse.

Well recently it's been nonstop and tonight my mother isn't even staying here. They apparently didn't fight as much when I was away at college... but now is a different story. I'm tired of them being unhappy and I just wish I could do something. I sort of feel like I don't help matters since they were much better when I wasn't around...

I don't think they realize that the sound of yelling a major trigger of my anxiety and not being able to do anything about it and being filled with uncertainty about if my family is going to last doesn't help either. I just feel sick about the whole thing. I don't know what to do.

That's awful for you! You know my niece fixed my brother and her mother. They would have awful fights (not her fault), and they were non-stop. One day when we had gathered there for a BBQ my brother started...

I saw Diane go into instant anxious mode...the poor little thing didn't know what to do. So she went to the kitchen, opened the fridge and started tossing eggs onto the floor screaming "STOP STOP STOP" that poor little child. She stopped them from arguing and they got a divorce, my niece is today a well balanced individual with a good job and great husband and doing well.

IT ISN'T YOUR FAULT Butterflies, honestly...they just have the audience again and that is so wrong for you. But this was their relationship before you were born and they probably didn't argue when you weren't there because they didn't speak to each other.

Stand tall this isn't your doing,

Lots of support coming your way

Thank you... today it's better, but who knows how long it will last. I don't even know if they would be together if I wasn't born because I was born before they got married, which makes me wonder if maybe they subconsciously blame me for their unhappiness... but they swear they love each other...

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
