My parents are fighting- or actually no, not fighting. Actual verbal arguing would be a welcome change to the hostile silence seeping through the house. No. They are in a fight, which means they are barely talking to each other at all, instead they are communicating through complaining and mumbling to me. Their 18 year old child. I am an adult and they are acting like spoiled children who didn’t get there own way. Both have valid reasons to be mad/ upset with one another, that’s not my issue (if I’m being honest I think they should separate at least for a while because they are NOT happy and it seems ridiculous to cling on when you’re not even actively trying to fix the situation.. anyway). My issue is that neither of them are TALKING about it to the other.
I can feel the tension in air, it’s dragging the complete mood down and it’s quite frankly just irritating. When did I reach the age that I could see above my own parents pettiness and pride but they can’t. It’s ridiculous and I just want to scream at them- lock them in a room together and tell them to sort their own fucking problems out because I am not the family therapist…. Though we sure could use one (that’s another matter).
My mum is constantly putting my dad down and can sometimes be quite mean - she becomes very easily irritated with them, usually with good reason… my dad is a very unhappy man, I strongly think he has depression but will he go to a therapist? Of course not, he’s 60 and born to a generation of men that have no feelings (sure..). He complains without fail constantly, he complains about his job, he complains about us, he complains about the house. In all honesty, we have never got on. Like chalk and cheese, we never see eye to eye and he infuriates me like nothing else. He is an extremely childish and immature man… so I don’t disagree when my mum can’t put up with it. However, he really does love us and he really does care and sometimes it’s clear as day that all of his anger and grumpiness comes from some deep seeded trauma and sadness…
I’ve kind of lost my train of thought here but what I mean by going through all this is that- I see both of their sides. In this case I do think my mum is being too harsh. But it’s not my BUSINESS to take sides. I am the child. I shouldn’t have to. They SHOULD be able to deal with their own issues and discuss them like adults. THAT is why I’m writing this because I’m angry and I feel the need to complain because It’s like living through a domestic version of the cold bloody war.

Explain to them that they are both being ridiculous carrying on like this and tell them to both go to see a marriage counselor to sort themselves out and so that these arguments can be stopped once and for all.
