I fight with my parents allot, and it doesn't seem like anyone else is having any family trouble! my family has always been, not very connected, though I thought after time things would get better? There is always shouting and all ways blaming. More 50 times have I thought, "I hate you" at my parents. Though the anger always turns into sadness before it can be used. Is anyone else going though the same thing1?

    Growing up I remembered my parents arguing all the time, the older I got the more I understood why. I don't remember hating them, but I do remember thinking they could make arguing an olympic sport. when I was little I would hide in my room, when I was older I would go for a long walk, by the time I got back things had calmed down and they would pretend it hadn't happened and it was never talked about. I remembered hating that they argued and how helpless it made me feel. You are not the only one it happened to.

      i agree with u redbird.. that's the one only problm in my life.. bcause i dnt consider other problems too be so problematic. no issue is bigger than growing up in a family where your parents hate and fight each other.and that is why i hate them too.they r never in a good mood and so i only interact with them when in need.
      i know m nt d only one, but i knw there r great families around me where parents dnt want to kill each other..

        If your parents are anything like mine, expect them to get divorced, mine did, they were kinda shocked when I didn't act at all surprised and stunned by something I had been prepared for since high school.

    It is most definitely normal for youths to feel angry at their parents.

    I bet it was something to do with your English homework.

    I fight with my mom every single day and I also feel like she favors my older brother over me.

    I grew up in quite a dysfunctional family myself and didn't always find the support and understanding I would've wished for. I recently heard an estimate from a psychologist that 85% of families are dysfunctional to some extent. In a weird way I found that kind of comforting.
    I don't know what to suggest, but maybe when things are calm you could talk to members of your family one-to-one without blaming anyone, just trying to understand their issues better and to find out how the situation could be improved. Good luck :)
