How do you deal, when all your parents do is argue? Options

[PrettyBrownEyez3]

How do you cope when all your family does is argue, argue, and argue some more? Then you get dragged into it, and get your feelings hurt...

It's just pissing me off. Long story short, my dad has double standards for himself. He can do what no one else can. All he tells my mom is that he's going out and will be back in about an hour. He didn't come back until about 8, when he called at about 4 or 5 (plus he comes in tipsy). But he knew we had plans to do something, but he doesn't care. Not to mention, he tells my mom that he doesn't keep track of time, he can take care of himself. But if me and my mom go out, and say we'll be back at 11, 11:01 he's calling, asking us why we aren't home yet. I don't know how the hell to cope with this anymore. For all i know, he can be cheating on my mom. He yells at me for almost anything now. I don't know what i'm supposed to do.

Gawd, i feel like an idiot for posting this now

Man.....that is shit...and I understand your situation....well....after fighting....I go to my room.....listen to music...angry or really calm..I also write poems and stuff. I think you need to get him professional help..if he's hurt your mom and you in anyway. Especially if talking doesn't work.

No, he's never hit me or my mom. You can be sure of that. Honestly, thats what i usually do. I write a lot, and blast my music. I just wish there was a way to end all of it. As for the professional help, i highly doubt he's agree to that. Thats what i'm saying, it seems theres no way to fix this. I'll suggest it to my mom. Maybe she'll agree to it and get him to come somehoe. Thanks.

As for how long its been going on... For awhile. But its been more frequent lately. I don't know if it's anything between them, though my mom sometimes complains that he never takes her out anywhere, but i don't think thats all there is to it.
