Lately I have been feeling really unhappy. My parents are not talking to each other and when they do there screaming. It's really upsetting because my Mom takes it out on me. They tell me that they would never get a divorce but I’m getting worried. My older sister hates me and I don't know why. One day she just started being mean and telling me to shut up and stuff we used to play and laugh together. My little brother’s temper is really bad, but I don't blame him He's only 8. But what really make me mad is that all of this is rubbing off on my dog and making upset too.
Can anyone help me?
Awwwww Lily ((((((((HUGS)))))))) It's so hard when parent's do that, and it affects their children. I have to admit that I've been guilty of that at times in my marriage, where we'll argue, and, then be silent for a few days. It certanly makes for tension within the household. I've never taken it out on my kids though.
I would just sit down with your mom or dad, which ever one is more approachable to you, and, let them know in a very calm, non-confrontational way, how much it hurts you when they do this, and, how it makes you feel. Maybe you could talk to them both together. I'm not sure what your families dynamics are.
I hope this has been a little help for you. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
