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

Your post reminds me of the song how to deal. But anyway back to advice for you, well maybe next time he goes out tell him that you want to hang out with him. Or ask him if he can come home early, and just for the heck of it leave some messages on his phone. "Dad, I can't wait to go (insert activity) this afternoon. Please come home soon." That will make him feel guilty and that may have a better chance of him coming home. My parents are divorced and I guess its kinda better, because the fighting has stopped. Although they're still friends, they love me just not each other. Try showing your dad some affection, give him a hug every time he goes to work. Hope that works!
