My parents aren't happy with eachother
The story
There are different type of people. "My parents are divorced", "My parents are happily married". My parents SHOULD be divorced. I don't want them to get divorced, but at the same time, they're clearly not healthy for each other. They argue every day and their personalities don't match at all. Twenty five years of marriage, and they've never really loved each other. I think they both could be been happier in anther world, where they never met each other. My mum met someone she loved and married him in that universe. My dad never settled down and traveled the world. I was never born in that universe, but they're both happy that way. I love both of my parents and I want them to be happy. They bring out the worst in each other, and it's painful. I feel so afraid, because their moods become sour. If I mess up, my mum gets angry. If I get upset over her arguing, she tells me to not make it about myself. I'm not blaming her, because I know this could have been avoided if my mum was with someone else. I know they're only staying together "for the kids" (aka me and my siblings), but even their children can see how unhealthy this is. I can't tell them to divorce, neither can I mend their relationship. So I just have to live through it for a few more years. But I don't know how much more I can take.

Oh man, I totally feel this. You know, my folks kinda went through something similar, and it was a real mess—vibes were so off, it was like they were speaking different languages.
But you know what? Sometimes, staying together ain’t worth the stress, ya feel me? It’s all about their happiness and setting a good example for the kids. Like in that story where they stayed together for them—I get it, but I’m all about peace and chill energy.
I think maybe things will get better eventually. Keep your head up—it worked out for my family kinda. Wishing yours finds a way too.
I hear where you're coming from, but I don't totally see it the same way. My parents fought a lot too, and I used to think they'd be happier apart; maybe things aren't as clear-cut. Sometimes people just have rough patches and still find ways to make it work. It's easy to think it'd be better if they were divorced, but what if they're just trying to work through things the only way they know how?
Relationships are messy and not always perfect. I get that it's tough, but maybe sticking it out teaches us something at the end of the day.
I understand your frustration, and it's certainly a complex situation you're facing. However, I wonder if viewing their relationship solely through this lens might limit understanding??? Relationships are inherently complex and may involve intricate dynamics that aren't always visible to outsiders. Perhaps they have reasons to stay together that transcend apparent discord, such as shared values or commitments beyond just the children??? In my own experience, witnessing parental strife was challenging, but I later realized there were layers and perspectives I hadn't initially considered. It's a difficult balance between familial stability and individual happiness. Stay strong, and remember that sometimes circumstances can evolve in unforeseen ways. 😕🤔
I totally get where you're coming from, and it's commendable that you're looking out for what's genuinely best for your family. It's tough when it feels like parents are staying together just for the kids because we all deserve to see them happy and thriving; sometimes, the situation just seems stuck in a loop, and it affects everyone involved. In my family, things weren't perfect either, and it took a long time for everyone to realize where true happiness lay. It's tricky to navigate those family dynamics, but hang in there. Hopefully, things change for the better, and both you and your parents find some peace in the end. 🌟
i totally hear what you're saying, and it's tough to watch that kind of thing play out at home. sometimes parents just don't mesh well, and it sucks when they stick it out just for us kids. 😔 my folks went through something similar and it was tense; everyone felt it. sure, they might think they're doing it for the right reasons, but it can be a real struggle. maybe having an open chat about how it's affecting you could help a bit. fingers crossed things get better for everyone involved. 🤞
hey, i get why you're feeling this way, but maybe there's more to it than meets the eye. relationships are complicated, and sometimes parents have their reasons for staying together despite the tension. the "for the kids" mentality might seem outdated, but it could be their way of trying to maintain stability. i've seen families like this where things eventually got better with time and effort. maybe they just need a little more understanding or a new perspective. hang in there, things could change for the better. 🙂
