My parents complain about each other to me, and I don't know what to do.

I've totally been in that situation before. My parents do have a pretty good marriage, but sometimes they'll start complaining about each other to me without really realizing what they're doing. I usually just try to change the subject when I can.

I am so sorry that they are placing you in such an uncomfortable position. No child should have to hear the other parent being put down Please say to your mother and your father when they start to complain that you know that they are in pain but that it is inappropriate for them to burden you. Try to help them look beyond their own pain and understand how destructive their behavior is. A child needs to be able to see his parents as role models and not be denigrated and shot full of holes

The main thing you do in that situation is to listen to both sides but do not take a side. That way you can be supportive of your parents but it doesn't put you more in the middle. Also, try to offer helpful advise about getting them to talk to each other. Ultimately they need to work things about them self and sometimes them complaining could be their tool to get their stress out in the open instead of stuck in their head.

Ask them nicely not to speak badly about the other in front you, remind them that he/she is still your parent.

Have a sit down talk with them to express your concerns and look for a solution together as a family

This can definitely be a tough situation, especially because you don't want to upset either one of them. What do you think would be best? Have you tried telling your parents how you feel about the entire situation? Maybe sitting down and having a discussion could be beneficial.

When your parent begins to complain, let them know kindly but firmly that you don't want to be put in the middle and you would appreciate it if they would choose to talk about that issue with someone other than you. It may take a few reminders, but most parents will learn to not put you in the middle like that fairly quickly. If things don't improve or your parent becomes angry, it may help to bring in another trusted individual to help mediate the situation so that both you and your parent feel heard.

Try to just focus on yourself and act like you are interested. It's okay to not know what to do. Believe

If they both tell you that means they both trust you. Sit with both of them at the same time, solve the problems between them, tell them to remove the communication gap between both of them otherwise it might lead to separation of your family

I would tell them that it makes you uncomfortable and ask them if they could stop or work out their problems with eachother
