Parents Arguing/Fighting, what do I do?
Why does it have to hurt me, why should I feel sad, why in the world am I sad when my parents fight? What right do they have to make me sad?
Why do they even have to fight?
Why do every time they fight I feel so sick to my stomach? As if I'm going to puke. Like it's getting twisted around uncomfortably.
I get so conflicted emotionally.
A part of me wants to run away, the other is stuck frozen in place (because I'm afraid they're going to get mad at me instead), the other part is angry, the other is so sad, and part of me wants to say I'm sorry. For what?
For what do they fight?
Why can't they do it when I'm not around. When I can't hear them. Sometimes I think that I'll just put headphones in, but then I fear that if I play the music too loud and can't hear them calling for me then they'll get even angrier, and angry at me.
What do I do?

The reason it hurts so much is because you are both of them. Also, it's never pleasant to listen to people fight.
You need to stay out of their way when they're at war so you don't get involved. If you hear this turn to violence, call 911 immediately.
Here are some tips to make yourself feel more confident and express the maturity that is lacking from your parents:
* Hygiene: shower every morning, wear clean, neat clothes and keep yourself neat.
* Personality: Avoid saying I, me and my when you speak. Listen to the other person and don't offer your opinion unless they ask for it. Do not complain.
* It takes two to argue. Never argue or try to verbally defend yourself. Be agreeable even if you're right. You can defuse arguments by not participating.
* Smile and look confident, even when you don't feel like it. People like someone who is pleasant and doesn't bring them down.

As horrible as it sounds everyone argues, ppl argue with their kids, parents, siblings, co-workers, bosses. And especially with family, one can argue but still know that he or she loves the other and that he or she is still loved back; it can be just an argument. With that being said, what is the nature of their arguments? Do they still love each other? When they are not arguing do they show love? In cases where there is no love left, many couples stay together for the children in an attempt to say that they did everything work it out and to not tear the family apart. And if that is the scenario, it has come as a relief to many mothers when their children have said to them " you should divorce" or "I would rather see you happy and apart from dad, then to be miserable with him." It's a relief to a parent to know that they don't have to keep trying for the sake of the children.
