How can I help save my family?

Question

My sister and my mom always fight. So last night my mom kicked her out and she's been staying at her friends house's. My parents don't know this though. My mom and dad might get a divorce, I'm not sure. When they do fight everything usually goes back to normal in a few days. But this time i'm not to sure.

My sister told me she was going to come back tomorrow, or possibly Monday. My mom and dad brought home boxes and c**p to get her to pack her stuff. I'm tired of this c**p. My sister is 17. She only has one more year and then she can be gone. I don't get why she can't just tough it out for that year.

Don't get me wrong, it's not her fault. My mom is pretty crazy sometimes to. Is there anything I can do? I just want this to end.

Also I was thinking if my sister gets kicked out I might ride the train out to Alberta for a few weeks and maybe a couple months. I don't know. I don't know about anything right now.

Answer 1

your family has problems that you probably can't do anything about right now

all you can really do is focus on yourself and wait until your sister leaves so everything can be at peace again

but if you really do want to do something.. try some family counseling  

Answer 2

Artists need to walk away from a painting for awhile before they can finish them, maybe a trip to Alberta would do you some good.  Everyone needs time away to think.

Answer 3

good  choices

Answer 4

im not sure what hockey has to do with anything but talk to your dad about it...

Answer 5

technically, your parents can't kick your sister out until she's 18. ask them why they're doing this. suggest going to family counseling for a while. try waiting a few days to see if everything goes back to normal like you said. ask them if the boxes are for something else other than packing your sister's things up. also, mention that your sister needs a place to stay and a stable job to support herself for income. i'm assuming because you said she has one more year to go that she is going to be a senior in high school this fall. so basically tell your parents she has one more year before they can actually kick her out, and then after that she needs a stable job for income so she can support herself. yeah, and don't forget the counseling part. good luck and best of wishes to you and your family. =)!!!

Answer 6

Your family has some serious issues that they need to deal with. I honestly suggest you sit down and try to have a heart to heart talk with your mother and/or father. You can tell them what a horrible mess this is and how stressful it is to live in this type of environment. Suggest that they all go to counseling as a family so that you guys can work this out before it's to late. The last thing that you want to see happen is for your family to become distant or start to hate each other. Relationships with parents, siblings, etc. take a lot of work.

It sounds like your mother and sister have a few things that need to be worked out. Maybe you could talk with your sister and ask her to have a talk with your mother. Maybe they can try to straighten some things out.

I wish that I had some wonderful words of wisdom for you, but the best I can suggest is professional counseling. It helps a lot more than you think..

Answer 7

Well maybe it will help if you could sit down and talk to your parents about. Tell your mom that you want her to get along with your sister. Tell her how you are feeling and what's bothering you. Maybe she will open her eyes and see things differently.
