Is it just me?

[screamtobeheard]

Today my mom got really mad at my dad. So she was freaking out and screaming and she forced us to go out to some little shops with my two cousins and my aunt. (We're on vacation.) She was being so mean to my dad and treating us all like shit, just trying to irritate us and be a pain. And it made her sick. It would. When you work yourself up so much, it does make you sick. But she was being such a bitch to my dad. She not only threatened to divorce him, but also threatened to kill him. It was driving me crazy, and we were walking across this little bridge and I just broke. I tried to hide, but my aunt saw me, and she got mad because she knew it was my mom's fault. So she told my dad, and my dad told my mom. I don't know why he was telling her anything but he did. She made me go in a store with her and gave me this whole thing. About how she's just mad and she has a right to be mad. Which she didn't, no one did anything. But I guess anyone can be mad at what they feel like. And she asked me why I was crying. I told her I didn't know, and it wasn't important anyway. She didn't really care, I could tell by her tone. And after awhile she said to me "Do you want me to divorce your father? Because I will." That hurt. She basically said right to my face. "This is all your fault. We all hate our lives because of you." Isn't that what it sounds like? And then she said that my aunt was going to complain about how she ruined the trip. And she goes "Thanks, Amanda." That was my fault, because I let my aunt see me cry, I think. But again. I guess everything in my parents' lives is my fault.

And then later she was being all nice, and apologizing. I feel so bad, but I'm still so angry with her. it's hard to just forgive and forget when she hurts me so badly. She hurts me and my dad, and she does stuff like this all the time. Is it just me? Or is this normal, and I feel like she's being awful?

Sounds like you got alot going on...

Truthfully it sounds like your mum's being a bit hard on you. Don't worry though, everyone gets upset and sometimes it's not easy to hide. But don't blame yourself.
Sometimes are parents get mad at eachother and then when we get in the way we get blamed, don't take it personally. It's normal for you to be angry with your mum, but i'm sure things will be just fine, I hope so.
