Just want to get it off my chest…
TW
Im 16 almost 17 and i live with both my parents and my brother. As long as i can remember they’ve been fighting (over 20 years actually). i don’t remember as a child if things ever got physical between them but recently things have been getting worse. my dad seems to get upset over the smallest things, blames my mom, then goes crazy for sometimes 2-3 days. it happens a lot in the middle of the night too. he’ll wake up from a bad dream and take it out on my mom for doing nothing and it wakes everyone up. it usually isn’t right in front of me but i vividly remember one time a couple years ago when we were in a hotel he went crazy, hit her, broke jewelry i bought her, etc. i remember feeling frozen like i wanted to help but couldn’t. my dad was arrested once bought my mom let him back into our home and everything seemed to get worse because of it. lately he’s even started lashing out at my brother and I. i don’t want the family to be broken up and i still love my dad, but sometimes i wish they would just get a divorce. anyways, if you’ve read this far, thank you for listening. if u have any comments i’d love to hear them.

Hello, I am so sorry that you and your family are going through such a tough time. It sounds very frightening and upsetting. I understand that you are so limited in your ability to help either one of your parents. Leaving you feeling a bit helpless. Since dad has the rages maybe it might be worth a try to talk to mom to see what her feeling are about this. Have you shared with her this is affecting you and your concerns for the family? Even talking to your brother to see what he thinks, might help the three of you decide what you want to see happen.
