Hi, @Goldenrod_Possum I can definitely relate to your situation, It can be really tough but I promise it will get better. I had to flee from a domestic violence situation when I was 17 and I remember running away numerous times. I felt that the thing that made it so hard for me was the fact that I had a very quiet family, and I felt embarrased to talk to other family members about what was happening at home and I let this go on for too long. It can be really hard dealing with things like this, especially being only 16 and having the stress of school on top.
However, the moment I let another family member know who was'nt apart of this family drama, this could be an aunt or uncle, grandparent, etc. things immediately got better. You should not feel like your problems are going to be a burden on them because they will just want to keep you safe and they may have no idea that this is happening at home. Also, what I observed when doing this, is that as soon as I involved another family member, my parents almost just snapped and went "oh, what we're doing is having a negative effect on our children". I hope I'll be able to talk to you more about this and I wish you all the best. 🙂
Hey@Goldenrod_Possum ,I'm sorry to hear that you are feeling anxious and broken. It sounds like things are really tough for you at the moment. It is really great that you are reaching out for support. Have you been able to talk to anyone from your school such as a school counsellor about how you have been feeling?
I also just wanted to let you know that I will be sending you and email shortly 😊.
I am sorry to hear that you have been feeling scared @Goldenrod_Possum. Things sounds really tough for you at the moment. Is there anyone that knows about what you have been going through? Have the police been involved before?
their argument NEVER went physically,but the problem is on my parents that
argue of who is right, mom or dad. This is so annoying
Hi @Goldenrod_Possum 
Thank you for clarifying that. Correct me If I am wrong, but it sounds as though you are feeling stuck in the middle... is that right?
It can be really difficult and stressful for a young person when their parents are constantly fighting in front of them. It might actually be helpful for you to tell your parents about the impact that their arguing is having on you if it is safe to do so. They might be unaware of how much stress it is causing you, but if you tell them, then they might stop, or be more considerate of the impact that it is having on you. What do you think?
start saying that "that's your mom" or "that's because of your dad" things
like that
