Okay, so me and my mom havn't been getting along for awhile now. She resently has had a few medical issues like going blind and having surgery for her colon. My dad complains how he hates being around her. She has in the past made our fights physical, and at times her anger get out of control.. I am upset because I feel like my parents are putting all of the stress and .. well eveyhing on me and my mom and dad say I am a cause for alot of things that is tearing the family apart.

But all my friends and some of the rest of the family say its not me. This has been going on for about 6 years with me and mo fighting, I have thought about moving out, but I am not sure I feel like it might help them get better, and I could get my grades up and get a job.

Mom has suicidal thoughts and has given up on everything even with tryi to make things better. Dad doesn't know what to do...
What would you do??

Your Mum could be angry because of her medical issues at the moment, and is probably quite sensative. Your Dad could be abit more supportive helping your Mum through this, but instead they argue and are putting you to blame for this. If your parents realised it is probably themselves to blame then things would be alot better. What i advise is for you to keep out of the limelight for a while. Be nice to your Mum and Dad, if not just keep youself out of arguments. When things don't get any better, your Mum and Dad will realise that it is probably not you that causes the problems.

Hope i have helped you in some way :)

my mom has been sick like that to. and my dad isnt all there with it. and they love to blame there emotional feelings on me 2. but in all reality they dont know how to express themselves to each other or tell someone cuz there ashamed. but the best thing to do is to tell them you love them and try to stay out of there way a for a little. and maybe tell the doctors to help her and pray.

keep your distance.. make a peace offering.. remind them that you love them.. stay calm in all situations.. walk away from a fight and accept a slight defeat, if you think you're right.. make sure nothing dangerous happens.. your parents are going through a lot.. they have pressure and stress surrounding them.. it's not your fault.. they're just scapegoating you but that's okay.. let them be and work it out themselves in their own way unless you need to intervene for extreme situations... your mom has been through a lot.. that's probably a big stress boulder on her shoulders.. good luck..

i would first find a quiet place to hide and just think. and ur friends and family are right, it is not your fault, sadly ur mothers anger and injurys and ur fathers lack of feeling have resulted in them just taking it out on you, mainly because its easier. but listen, it is not ur fault. you dont need to move out unless you are moving out for you. try not to piss them off and in all honesty just stay out of there way. ive actually been in this situation before, not as extreme as urs, i am so sorry for that, but i know exactly wat its like and i blamed myself for years and it never helped anything, only made my friends and some family really sad. getting a job may help pnly because it will keep u busy and out of the house and then ur parents wont get as mad because u wont have to ask for money, thts always a huuuge fight starter.

i would one-pray
and two- i would tell someone NOT a sycologist! me and my mom tryed that and it made things worse! but like someone you trust. some times though it takes her to do something stupid to wake her up and say wtf am i doing. i went through the same thing and now we are a family again. start doing little things that you would not normally do though like cook or take out the trash clean the bathrooms anything you can do so she can see that you do care about her and that there IS something worth living for and that it's her famila'. and you should NEVER get in a physical fight with your mother it only makes things worse. just try and walk away and if that doesn't work just sitt there and take the bs then go and puch a pillow or something but it sould never get physical. i left a bruise on my mom and i never hit her again. but just PRAY hard and long and i will be praying for you because i know how hard it is

You can do what the person below me said. Pray to God and ask him for help.
In times of need you can go to him for all your troubles and sorrows.
You can also get her psychological help. You are stuck in a situation that really isnt your fault so... you should get serious help to get their issues all sorted out

go to church and pray ask God to help you

okay well first of all, how old are you?
If your in college, talk to a professor you feel comfortable with about the situation. or talk to a family member that you are close to. suicidal thoughts? What does your mom say when you try and talk to her?

i would get away from it for awhile.. mayb ask a friend if u could stay with him for awhile.. and if things dont stop being so bad i would just go on in life.. i know it would be extremely hard.. but trust me u/nobody needs that much drama in life.. mayb go back wen ur grown up and see if anything changed.. talk to ur mom still but not alot.. everything that is good will happen

how old are you?????
i have been through this before to. You should really go to a psychiatrist but tell you parents that you are going because of friend issues or something. This is a really seriouse issue and i would defiantly want to get away from it so go to a friends house or something to get away from it. If you feel insecure about leaving your mom by herself,.. then have a friend spend a night with you- hope i helped,.... these things kind of helped me . they may not help totally but may make the situation somewhat better.
