More Problems At Home- Advice Please

[Musicman408]

Hey there guys. I'm sure most of you here know about the incoming divorce of my parents.

I wanted to get your advice on some things going on at home because I'm just really kind of down in the dumps at the moment.

Tensions in my house are high ALL of the time! There are almost daily loud arguments that end up relegating me to my room. My mom is in a very short mood all of the time so some frustration is taken out on me. This evening after I got home from work was a great example. You know me- I try to be a peacekeeper and I always want everyone to be happy- so after awhile of everyone being pissed at each other I normally want to apologize, EVEN IF I didn't do anything wrong.

But the thing is that these days I'm down a lot. This evening for example was bad and it started when I asked my mom if she took care of something I asked if she'd do. Instead of simply saying no- she proceeded to yell at me ALLLL of the things that I needed to take care of before she would even remotely do the thing that she promised to do. So it's like after showing frustration simply in the way she was talking to me (not even the time sensitive issue she simply ignored) she blew up in my face and said a whole bunch of stuff that was completely random, un called for and inappropriate. After awhile it makes me wonder if it really WAS my fault and that there is something wrong with me..... In these situations what should I do?

The thing that's frustrating is that when it's only my dad that's home for the day or only my mom- the two of us get along fine. But when everyone is in the house- there is a guarantee that stuff is going to happen.

And the thing is- when I'm in one of these downsy kind of moods because of this- I'll go to my room and do my own thing, but truth be told- I get lonely. I started this summer working WAYYYY too many hours (I will be cutting back next week), but I haven't seen any friends and haven't heard anything from anybody. So at times I just kind of feel like I'm on my own- and I don't like that.......

I'm sorry I kind of rambled a bit, but I hope you understood what it was I was trying to say. I'd love to hear if you have any advice on things!

Much Love,
Ethan
