Parents arguing too much, can't take it anymore

[worriedandro]

My parents are already in their 60s but they’re still arguing a lot like angsty teenagers. I already tried playing the mediator role but they would only scream at my face to stop meddling. I don’t know how long I could take this. They used to be fine together. They met in some kind of international brides dating site and got married after a year of being together. I just wish I could turn back time so we’d be that perfect family again. I’m so tired of them fighting over petty things. It’s mostly arguments about who said this who said that.

Could you meet up with them individually so you don't have to deal with them arguing all the time?

Are your parents together OP or or separated? Do you live with them? How old are you?

I'm not sure what your situation is but I would say maybe try to make a life away from them. Sometimes we need to accept our parents as they are. Keep reminding yourself they love you whatever their problems are.

How old are you? Do you live with them? I’d just keep my distance to be honest.

No family is perfect. Protect yourself emotionally. It sounds like they feed off each other’s drama and don’t want you to diffuse it, so don’t try. If it stresses you being around them when they’re like this just don’t be. Step away when they start shouting, the moment they do. Eventually they’ll get the message.

It's not your job to mediate your parents' arguments. Stay out and stay away.
