Why Does It Have To Be My Parents?

Question

My parents argue and swear quite a bit. My dad drinks alot; not enough at one time that he gets drunk, he'll have a couple beer and go lay down. He's retired. My mom doesn't drink at all but when she does the odd time shes gets drunk at the wrong time. Like just recently we all went down to my cabin and she got drunk in front of me and my friend. My older brother who lives about 4 hours a day because he works in the military drove me and my friend home because she was drunk and such. Whenever I think of my parents I get depressed. They're not mean to me only sometimes. Over stupid stuff like when I leave a light on a room or even break a glass by accident im yelled at. Im afraid to bring my friends and girlfriends over because of them. Should I keep worrying about them? I've tried talking to them, nothing works. I'm around 14 years old and I'm a guy. I've seen my dad push my mom when they've been drunk. I'm usually in my room reading, playing guitar, writing and such. When I think of them it dapresses me, should i just mind my own business?

Answer 1

Well not necessary they are your parents and that makes them your business.Believe it or not i know what your going through.I have a father who doesn't take the time to call and a mother on crack cocaine.I am 15 ten years old and i am a female.Sorry but chances are they will not change if they don't want to.Did you try talking to them or other family members about the situation?!If not you should try,let them know how you feel.Even if that requires a few tears or you not sounding as masculine.The reality is we are still children and people go through this stuff all the time.You should try and talk to them about their problems and  let them know how you feel.Ask them how would like if ten years from now you were like them and their future grandkids seeing what you had to.By the way you should never be ashamed of her parents.If your girlfriend/friends are real they wont mind a little craziness

Answer 4

Man, so sorry to hear this.  Do you have any relatives living nearby?  Grandparents you could talk to?  If not a school counselor maybe could help you.  Your parents are having some serious problems and are not being aware of your needs.  Someone needs to wake them up.  Best wishes to you.
