I don’t want to play the role of being a mediator anymore.
Am I a bad child if I want my parents to separate? This question haunts me, bringing feelings of guilt and desperation.
I’m tired of their fights; it’s exhausting. Hearing them argue daily wears me down.
They can’t have a simple conversation without throwing hurtful words at each other.
Growing up in this household has been a nightmare, filled with endless arguments.
I can’t be with them in the same room for long without them bickering. Every interaction between them seems to end in conflict. It’s like walking on eggshells all the time, always anticipating the next fight.
I’m aware that they’re not happy together anymore, but…. they chose to stay for us. Initially, the fights were rare, but they’ve become more frequent and intense.
Each time they argue, I go to my room, I lock my room and I seek peace in the silence of my own space.
I want them to leave each other.
Am I a bad child for wanting my parents to separate?
I can’t believe I’m thinking and feeling this way, but I’m tired of dealing with their constant fighting. I don’t want to feel this way, but what if their separation is the only way to save my mental health and theirs too?
They could be free as individuals, not trapped in the roles of husband and wife. I can’t bear another day of their arguments. I feel stuck between their conflicts, unable to move freely without triggering their anger and causing another fight.
I wish they could just stop, even for a moment. Stop feeling anger and hurt because of the words they say to each other. It’s too toxic for me. I can’t even tell them how I feel because it will only lead to more arguments.
Each day feels like hell. I never know what their mood will be. When the atmosphere is calm, everything runs smoothly. However, when tensions arise, there are raised voices, hurtful remarks, and door slamming.
They don’t understand how hard it is for me. They think I don’t care, but it’s mentally draining every time they shout at each other. The fights, the shouting, the insults—it’s all too much. It drains my emotional and physical strength. I’m tired of hearing the same arguments over and over. It’s exhausting.
Sometimes I want to run away, to disappear so I don’t have to listen to them argue. The negative traits they show aren’t just arguments; they insult each other deeply. After the fights, we have to pretend nothing happened.
They curse at each other without caring how painful their words are. It seems like their goal is to hurt each other as much as possible. I hate how they throw such words without considering each other’s feelings.
The fights, the insults, the curses—they numb you, yet overwhelm you with emotions. You can’t stay emotionless while they verbally hurt each other. I can’t take it anymore. I can’t be the mediator. Listening to their fights is mentally draining. I don’t want to play this role anymore.
I want them to understand how tiring it is to deal with their constant arguments. I want them to know their fights are toxic and need to stop for everyone’s sanity.
Even the smallest things spark fight. They don’t know how to talk without raising their voices or saying hurtful words.
I want them to realize how much damage they’re causing each other with their fights and insults. They can’t fix their problems by continuing to hurt each other. They make it worse. They wonder why they can’t talk normally after days of silence. They’d rather stay quiet than speak to each other.
So, Am I a bad child for wanting my parents to separate? Or am I just someone seeking peace in a stormy household? I want them to be happy, even if it means being apart. I want to be free from their toxic cycle. Maybe, just maybe, their separation could bring peace to us all.
And please, if you’re becoming a parent, don’t build a home filled with shouting, arguments, insults, or curses. Instead, work as a team. Show affection not just through words, but through actions. Love each other even when times are tough, and provide your children with good lives, not just the bare minimum.
You should be an example of how a healthy couple works. Show your love and maintain a good relationship, not just by saying ‘I love you’ and ‘I care about you,’ but by letting your actions speak louder than words.
Even if your relationship goes through rough patches, continue to give each other love. At the end of the day, you chose each other. Work out your problems instead of pushing them down and pretending they don’t exist.
