this is very true. im 15 years old and my brother is almost 18 and our parents have been fighting pretty much everyday since before i can remember. my mom is very close to my brother and i but neither of us have a close relationship to my dad. he does drugs and a lot more things we dont agree with and its hard to respect someone like that who was supposed to take care of you when you ended up taking care of them. i never know what to expect when i come home from school or anywhere else because he has temper tantrums and will through stuff everywhere. i came home from school one day and walked in the house and the door was wide open but all the lights were off. i went into the kitchen and all the cabinets and drawers were emptied out into the floor and on the counter. i went into the bathroom and he had the toilet ripped apart and everything thrown in the bathtub. i went in my dads room to see what the hell his problem was and his door was locked with all the lights off. i had no idea what had happened and not to mention he pops pain pills like candy and is extremely depressed. all that i could think about was he’d killed himself by overdose. so i went outside and called my mom and couldnt get intouch with her so i called my best friend and she talked to me until my mom called back. my mom came home and went back to his room and knocked the door down. he was fine and had just gotten drunk early that afternoon and had passed out. but they ended up getting into a hugee argument cause he didnt even care he had upset me to the point where i didnt even want to stay in my own house. that day was the beginning of what im living through now. i have panic attacks pretty much weekly and i am recovering from an eating disorder. i dont think to this day that he gives a damn that hes caused all this trouble for me and my brother. sometimes, even through the rough times im glad that he was like this. because it taught me one of the biggest lessons of my life and thats not to ever treat my kids the way he treats me and my brother and to never let a man treat me the way he treats my mother.
i am a 17 year old and my parents constantly argue my dad is the most relaxed person i no he is sometimes not the britest but my mom is the biggest a hole to him she treats him like shit i no my dad doesnt want to get a divorse because it would tear apart the family but i no he is getting to the point where he cant take another day of this. wut should i do as a 1 year old fixing to move out in 8 months?? i am the oldest of 4 brothers and i kinda feel like i should help my brothers from having to constantly hear the arguing it stresses me out and everyone wut should i do should i forget about it and move out or wut
good luck hilary
I can say to hillary is talked to the family specially to her mom to dissolved a problem because stress appear in mind of Hillary. Hillary need to suggest to her Mother to rehab his Father to solve the problem absolutely.Its good if Hillary talk one one his dad to heal the problem of his dad.Talking one on one to his dad is the best way to dissolve the bad habit of his dad and their life become happy forever,,,,
