My family is fighting , because my brother wants to let my mother retire , but my mother doesn't trust him. As a youngest one , i couldn't just stand by and watch them fight. Is there a way to fix it?

Every time my parents fight, as the youngest, it's affected me. They have been like this since I was a child, and it has yet to improve. Because of all the constant fighting, I always try to gain authority to control their tempers. But that's not like really possible since I'm the youngest. I feel like the best way to solve this is to show them that when they fight, show them how it is affecting you. Are you in pain? Do you have a headache? Do you sit down in a tight place in the dark? Things like that. I always show that the fights are affecting me negatively.

Hello. It can be challenging to see loved ones and family members, especially those older than you, argue about very serious topics. It may be hard to just stand back and watch them fight. I believe that even though you're the youngest, there's no reason you can't get involved to help alleviate the situation. Although it is hard to give advice about the specifics of the circumstances, I would say that showing your loved ones that you care and sharing your opinions while also making it clear that you are coming from a place of love can be helpful.

Hey, at first thank you for considering me to share your concern for which i am more than happy to help you as a listener. I understand that fights between our beloved family members are common. We fight or shout because we care for them. Now coming to your case i can see that you your elder brother wants your mother to retire which clearly shows that he is very much concerned for his mother and also feels responsible to let off the dependency on your mother. On the other side your mom doesn't trust your brother and which casues you trouble as you see them fight. I am no expert to advice you on this matter but i clearly stand with you for any listening support you want to have. That's my job. I am sure that you can find a way for that problem, because you are the having best experience of that situation. Thank you

Well, If you mother doesn't trust your brother she should work until he prove himself to be the bread winner. Maybe make a deal with your brother if he can prove for 6 months then mother can retire. It would be helpful if You, mother and brother all sat down and have a peaceful conversation. If not maybe get a relative or someone to negotiate. As for you, if this issue is too much maybe get out for a bit and find something to relax your mind. I hope your brother and mother will come to an agreement. Have a good day.
