mom and dad
my mom and dad are fighting so much and it’s causing a lot of stress on our family. i’m just nervous for the future and it’s out of my control which i hate. it’s just always awkward when my whole family’s together. they might be getting divorced and i just wish things were the way they were before. this has been going on for almost 3 weeks. i just already have so much stress and so much on my plate that this is just another thing making me anxious. also i mom usually the energetic, easy-going friend, but lately i’m putting on a mask and i just can’t do that anymore.

I would be feeling anxious in your shoes, too. It's hard to see your parents fighting and even harder when there's no resolution over several weeks. I'm not sure if they are going to divorce or if they have hit a rough patch in their marriage. It's difficult for anyone to know what happens in a marriage and predict the future. You said you would like to drop the mask you have been wearing. Which parent might you feel most comfortable sharing your honest feelings with? Is there a time when you can talk about your feeling openly with your parents or with the parent you feel comfortable talking to? Your feelings are important and talking about them openly may be helpful in releiving some of your anxious feelings.
