If you are comfortable with it, you might ask both of your parents to please stop arguing in front of you. Alternatively, you could ask to work with a therapist, if you are interested in that option.

Find a happy place. Somewhere in your mind that you are comfortable and safe. You can go to this place anytime you need. Find someone to talk to about your feelings so that you aren't bottling them up.

The best way (I feel) is to rely on family and friends. I found that when I was dealing with my parent's divorce, even if my parents weren't sympathetic, my extended family and close friends were.

sit them down and tell them how uncomfortable their making you feel and make them understand that it pressurizes you a lot and effects you

Try to ignore it as best as possible, if they are fighting go in another room, take a walk, go outside, or blast your music. Ignoring the fighting is best. But if it is too much, talk to consoler :)

I would find a safe place. Somewhere quiet where I can reflect on my emotions about my parents splitting and write about them.

I think the best way is to just get out there and let them do what they want to, but you dont have to watch.I used to go to friends when this kind of stuff happened, because I just couldnt take seeing them like that.

Talk to BOTH of them. They are your parents. They will understand. You are their child. Explain how you are uncomfortable with all this fighting! sit them both down and have a good talk, as a FAMILY

The best way I found to cope with it was to talk to someone else who had been through the same thing.

Talk to another trusted family member about the situation or talk to your parents about how it is making you feel.
