parents fighting. Options

[alysaphobia]

my parents screamed at each other today.
at like, 11PM. my dad came back late from drinking some (not drunk... but yeah, drinking a little anyways) and they had an argument which ended up as a screaming fest which i could hear all the way downstairs in my room, door shut. it ended up with my dad storming out the house, slamming the door and driving off to god knows where.

not only does them screaming at each other scare me, especially when i hear things being thrown around, presumably at each other, but it completely stresses me out. i hate it. this has happened a few times before.


i know everybody's parents fight, but how do you deal? this is too loud.

Erf... really there isn't much you can do except tell them how you feel about it. Tell them that it's effecting you. It may be a good idea to sit down with both of them and tell them both how you feel when they aren't in the middle of a fight. The best thing you could do is goto a few counseling sessions with them. Alot of times people get so mad at eachother and people get so built up with anger that they can't work things out on their own. It's almost like they need a third party to help them fight fair with eachother so that they can work things out. Even though counceling is a real bitch sometimes. alot of people really do need it.
