So, I came home from school yesterday. (I'm a 13 yr old girl by the way) It was just like any other day. My mom was at work in town, and my dad was working in our shop. When my mom came home, I cooked pizza and that's what me and my dad ate but she didn't. She ate some other food she made and didn't sit at the table. My older brother was working in town at this time. When he came home later on, we were in his room talking and my dad walked in. He told us that my mom said that she needed money for her family in her birth country. And my dad only gave her half of what she wanted. (I think) He said she was pissed. Anyways in the morning when I woke up, she told me “you can have my iPad now” her iPad had a sticky note saying that also. (My dad got it for her for their anniversary) In sacred because I played on it almost everyday and it was my fault. She went to work again today, but when she came back home, I was in my room and heard my dad asking her how her day went. And she didn't talk to him once. She just ignores him. And my dad has to ask me about things now. Today when my mom and I were coming home from town, she talked about how when she first moved here with my dad how lost she was. And when we were home, she saw that I wrote that the ipad was hers not mine. She kinda argued with me about. And then she's like "I like giving not taking" It sounded pretty fishy. And I said well that was a present. She said she doesn't like presents. And how she's sick or feels sick because of "someone" Please... I need an honest answer on what to do I feel like I'm being dragged apart.... I might fail school.... Plus I cry almost every night now. I'm scared my parents' relationship is falling apart for our family!! Please help...

It's not your fault if your parents have problems. Seriously. Don't blame yourself. They need to deal with their issues directly and not use you as a go-between. I was in the same position you're in and it's okay to feel scared, but know that if your parents split it's not because of you, but because of themselves. Your mother needs to deal with her anger over not getting enough money from your father in a constructive manner instead of giving your father the cold shoulder treatment. They are not modeling proper conflict resolution or problem-solving in a marriage. You may need to sit both of them down and explain that this is hurting you, and why.
