Deal With Your Parents Fighting

Many parents fight, and that's ok! It is perfectly normal because if they don't fight or argue once and a while, it could end up turning into one big fight! Follow these steps and feel better about your parents fighting.

Steps

 * 1)  Always remember that none of this is your fault in any way. It's perfectly normal to fight sometimes.
 * 2)  Never try to fix your parents' problems, it could only make things worse.
 * 3)  Talk to your parents about how you are feeling. If you are not comfortable with that, ask to talk to a trusted adult, such as a teacher, therapist, or psychologist. If you have to let it out, it needs to be let out.
 * 4)  Stay away from your parents while they are fighting. Go into your room and listen to music, watch a movie, or play a game. Try not to get involved. Always stay calm.

Tips

 * When one parent tells you something and the other parent brings it up later, don't tell the other parent what the 1st parent said, because this usually results in an argument in which you are stuck in the middle. It will be the first thing you want to say in order to defend your parents, but hold back.
 * Keep an open mind. If one of your parents says something mean about the other parent you should understand they are angry and are saying things they don't really mean.
 * If one parent asks you if they were right and the other was wrong don't tell them how you thought they were wrong just tell them you don't feel right talking about your other parent like that and they'll understand and they probably never would have to worry about it again.
 * Remember that your parents will always love you, no matter what.

Warnings

 * If your parents are hurting each other physically, call the cops. Your parents should never hurt each other, or you or anyone else for that matter!
 * Try not to get involved and bring other family members into it as it can usually turn ugly and end up in the fight becoming more serious.
