No it isn't. Your parents are grown ups and their actions are based on the choices that they have made.

No, it is not your fault. Their argument is in between them and their own personal flaws/ struggles - it has nothing to do about you.

It is not your fault at all. Your parents' arguments are completely based on their problems with them.

No sweetie, it is not your fault. Partners, and especially parents argue, and its just part of being together. Don't ever blame yourself for this, I used to do that too. Things happen, and parents argue, and sometimes it's almost constant, but it isn't your fault.

No it’s not your fault! Sometimes adults argue and it can be stressful, confusing, and it may seem like it’s your fault! But it never is they’re dealing with there own issues. Adults can be really confusing but it’s okay!

Marital affairs between parents are always complicated, and the complexity of it (especially the emotional aspects) can bleed out into family life too smoothly for our liking, sometimes. I can say that it can be hard sometimes to separate yourself from that goes on between the parents especially if you live with them. Most likely, your parents' arguments are not about you, so please don't ever feel like you are at fault for what two adults are having a discourse on. Easier said than done, but just remember that you are just a 'kid' in the family dynamics, and never to blame for the grown up fights.

Q: "Is it my fault that my parents argue all the time?" A: Absolutely not! Your parents might have several issues going wrong in their marriage, but they should never make you feel like it is your fault in any way. Sure, children can cause financial and emotional stress, but that does not mean that their problems are your /fault/. They made the mutual decision to raise you, and it is their responsibility to continue on that journey of parenthood. Conflicts can arise, which they should handle like adults without bringing you or any other children into it. I hope this helped!
