I don't know where to go anymore. I don't feel comfortable talking to my friends because they can get worried and over-involved, so I searched for a forum where I can anonymously ask for help. So here I am.
My parents have been arguing about money and it has been going on for almost 3 weeks now.
My dad is 58 and he feels that it's almost his time to pass, so he wants to help spread the Buddhist religion. He wants to do so by sending a few thousand dollars to this guy at Vietnam every year.
My mom simply wants to keep as much money to support me into college. She says that nobody even knows this guy and he could be a con guy. My dad says that he knows someone who knows him.
My dad then goes off into yelling at her for never letting him spend their money the way he wants, but my mom brings up the fact that my dad used to play stocks and that led to us almost going poor. Now my dad wants separate bank accounts, and my mom is starting to feel depressed, because she left all of her family back in Asia only to get this treatment. Every time I hear her talking on the phone with a friend she starts tearing up, and it makes me feel terrible.
Yesterday my dad sat me down and said that he feels his point of living is to help spread his beliefs, and that he will try to support me, but it'll be impossible to support me all through college. He then...
brings up how he's going to die in a few years.
That broke me down completely, and now I feel like everything is pointless. I love both of my parents so much, and I don't want them to go without me being able to get out of college and start repaying them.
I want it to end, but I can't do anything about it. The only way I can think of is to win the lottery or something. I can't go out and raise all that money on my own yet, I'm only 16. I feel useless and my parents aren't getting any closer. My life has been nothing but school, I hardly go out, and that's because I want a future without money worries, but now I can't do a thing.
Please, help me. Help me get my parents to stop arguing, help me get a happy family and help me get over the depression and fear of losing my parents.
I'm the most desperate I've been in my lifetime. I don't know what's gonna happen to me if I don't have my family again.
