Sad family situation

honestMaple8557 May 1st, 2021

My parents argued a few days ago, they haven't spoken to each other ever since, only once and my mum insulted my dad... I am an only child, all my friends' families are happy except mine which is split apart My dad is so sad and he doesn't know what to do, he tries to talk but my mum ignores him My mum basically hates my dad, who tries his best to help her during this difficult time, but it's like my mum doesn't perceive this effort. They are opposites and I have always wondered why they got together in the first place... It's been 4 days and they haven't had a decent conversation. I can't do anything about this, I know that they love me and they aren't angry to me, but to each other. It is so frustrating that all I can do is sit back and watch...

I hope that you are doing okay. Situations like this are very difficult, especially seeing it froma third party view. Growing up, my father spoke disgustingly about my mother to where I absolutely hate her. Your parents had a reason they got together. But as time goes on and people grow/change, the reason can become smaller and the obstacles in the relationship can exponentially grow. Not all relationships work out. And your friends, their families could have issues stirring, but only seen privately (unspoken/hidden). Don't be afraid to reach out and talk to people about this. It's best to vent and be open so it does not fester and affect you emotionally and mentally. Maybe see if your parents would have a family meeting with you. Maybe begin a game/therapy of everyone needing to state one thing they love about themself, the other family members and one thing they plan to work on personally for the week. You can say that it is a self esteem exercise you would like to do. (I lack in self esteem myself) Prayers 💕
