Re: How common are family fights in your family?
I think my parents don't really shout at each other any more, rather they give each other quiet, subtle sarcastic remarks and put on a fake smile for the kids because they've learned that shouting at each other is harmful for their children... they learned that from me before they had their other two kids. I moved away a few years ago though to live with my grandmother, because whenever they'd yell at each other they'd get each other upset and not want to talk to one another any more, then since they were still upset they needed someone to vent on, and that person was me. So usually I'd get yelled at unfairly for nothing, or making an honest mistake, or not being able to read their minds, or something like that. It kind of messed me up in the head because I didn't see home as a safe place and I was getting bullied outside the home too, so I felt I had nowhere and nobody to turn to. Except my dear grandmother who I now live with. We haven't argued often, usually only over something major and I think I can count on one hand the amount of times that's happened over the past four or so years. I always try to avoid it of course, just sometimes my grandma takes what I say out of context and sees meanings in what I say that aren't even there.
