Answer 2

Sugar, your parents feelings for one another is their business and doesn't have anything to do with you.  Or how they feel about you.

Your father's mental illness is his to discuss with his doctor.  

I know that you probably feel like you should do something about what you now know.  But it isn't for you  to do anything.  Please let it go and let your parents deal with it.

Answer 3

Tell each of them separately & then together: YOU LOVE THEM! Ask if there is ANYTHING you can do to help either one (or both) be happier. Tell them you feel troubled because you aren't sure in your heart THEY are happy. Hopefully they'll listen & do something about their lives. Then drop it; ask again in two weeks. Hopefully they'll hear you...

Then find a GOOD friend for yourself; someone who will be  sounding board with you for each other's troubles.

Answer 4

would you like it if your parents were "peeping at this stuff [you] wrote on the computer"?  They're adults and more than that they're people.  My best suggestion is to forget about it and keep your nose out of their business.  And just for the record, I'm 20 and if my parents caught me reading stuff they wrote that wasn't meant for me I'd still end up with a black and blue behind and I'd deserve.  If you ever want respect from them, you have to respect them and their privacy first.

Answer 5

Well.........I am sorry about your parents.  You cannot make it better.  It is not your marriage.  It is very hard living with someone with bipolar.  Everyone wants a happy home.  Your dad must feel like he is not getting support from your mom.  I hope he can find some help from a counselor.
