Mum and dad arguing

[butty_92]

They are always arguing regularly on an almost daily basis. Once a twice a week this gets really violent. My mum has depression and this is a lot for my dad to cope with, on top of waking up in the early hours of the morning.

He notices she gets really cold and distant with him and when she doesn't say why he gets really violent. He chucks stuff about, the cat litter tray, cat food etc... and really does at times look like he is going to hit her.

He says that if she leaves him he will make her life hell and if she ever meets another man, he will kill him and her. What should I do? It really scares myself, my brother, mum and sister!

tell someone about this teacher friend social services...its about the only thing you can do

You may be right, I've thought about us as a family sitting down and discussing this problem like adults but I can see that is not going to happen. My mum and dad are still very distant with each other and unaccepting of any blame. They tend to sort things out and then argue again a few days later.

the thing is you would rather they argue than keep it all bottled in then when the time comes it explodes

you need to talk to your mum and dad aswell tell them how this is hurting you and maybe they may be able to discuss thing more maturly

They have sorted their differences out for the time being now. This is always the case, until the next time they argue. My mum isn't stronger enough to stand up to him. It really annoys me. Should I do anything about it?

its hard to say as i dont know this situation first hand...I think you should do what feels right to you

Sorry I could not be more help
