Of course not! Whatever goes on between your two parents has nothing to do with you. They both love you equally and wouldn't give you up for the world. No matter what, one thing they can agree on is that they love you. It's never, ever your fault.

Short answer, no. It is very common for parents to fight, given the amount of stress they may be under from work or in the relationship. You must remember that your parents love you and are blessed to be raising you in their lives. If this is not the case, you must contact the appropriate helpline to improve your situation. Remember, although it may not be a nice thing to listen to, it is common for people to argue and it is never your fault, especially when it comes to your parents.

No, it isnt. Parents tend to have disagreements over many things, usually for such things as money or jobs.

Usually, parents' reasons to fight are financial or their own personal business. It is true that the child may be one of the reasons also, but don't assume they fight because of you. I'm sure your parents love you and they would never do something to hurt you.

Absolutely not. It can be easy to feel that way because it's hard to tell what's actually going on. Damaged trust, low capacity for joy and pain and so many other things cause relationships to crumble. The fact that your parents argue and now hate each other has nothing to do with you. No matter what you do, how you act and what grades your get should not affect your parents' relationship with each other. Blaming yourself for the issues between them is wrong. Have self-compassion. You care for your parents and want the best for them. Broken parent relationships are really hard on the children, but don't blame yourself for it.

It is never your fault when parents argue. Even without much context, I can tell you that your parents love you very much, and that there are a lot of factors that play into how people feel about one another. Sometimes, people aren't compatible and that's completely okay. Life takes it course to open up new opportunities when things don't work out the way you expect at first. You parents care about you deeply, and if you are ready to, you can talk to them about your worries and how you've been feeling. If you want to talk to someone anonymously, I'd love to chat. Know your worth and don't blame yourself for things that are outside of your control.

It's not your fault if your parents argue all the time, but rather recognize that is a problem between them that they have. I've noticed a lot of the time the parents try to or tend to blame the kid for the problems rather than admitting to themselves what the real root of the problem is. It is important to remember these things because they can become even bigger guilt over something that will never be our fault. A lot of the time these parents don't even realize what they're doing and really asking them and wondering about it will help to give you that clarification that you or anyone might need.
