Answer 1

Sometimes in life, especially in split/mixed families, we have to accept that there are things and people that we are not going to like. Acceptance is very difficult so is forgiveness. If they are bitter, this may go on forever. It is going to take one of them being the bigger man and saying - let's put the past behind us; forgive one another; and start our life together TODAY. Leaving the past where it belongs- in the past.

Answer 2

Try to content some counseling or sit down and talk like the others above suggest, I also find helpful to write down a list when you come up with ideas. Understand you may not be able to change this, but you can control you feel about the situation. You can make your life better if you want to. Bad things in life are teaching us a lesson. Every bad thing. The lesson is making a decision to make something good. Bad things aren't really bad, there simply events. What makes it make is when you decide it to be bad. Most people don't realize this. You want to be loved, you want to be accepted, you want to be happy. Try to be loving and happy. Love everything in the world. When something you bad happens instead of hurting yourself, realize it isn't bad and find the good things out of it. Every even has good things you can find from it. Be a master of your life, not a victim. Many people will disagree with what I'm trying to say, but if you think deep down, you will know it's true.

I wish you luck my freind!

Answer 3

Nothing. It's not up to you to try and fix this. Many parents and their teens don't get along, because the teen is trying to get to where they can be on their own and the parents are trying to steer the teen in the right direction. This will all blow over in a couple of years. It's just a clashing of the generations. Been going on for thousands of years.

Answer 4

Talk to your half brother and tell him what's up, but first start talking about yourself or the family then ask him why doesn't he get along with your father.

After talking to him ask him to give him a chance.

Give advice to your dad but don't tell him what your brother told you because you might have a big problem with him.

Good Luck!

Answer 5

Cultivate relationships with those who can teach you. Let friendly
intercourse be a school of knowledge, and let culture be taught through
conversation. Thus you make your friends your teachers and mingle the pleasures
of conversation with the advantages of instruction. Sensible people enjoy
alternating pleasures: you are rewarded with applause for what you say and you
gain instruction from what you hear. We are always attracted to others by our
own interest, but in this case it is of a higher kind. Wise people frequent the
houses of great nobility as theaters of heroism not temples of vanity. They are
renowned for their worldly wisdom, not only for being oracles of all nobleness
by their example and their behavior, but because those who surround them form a
courtly academy of worldly wisdom of the best and noblest kind.

Answer 6

You don't mention how old you are. Sometimes in life it isn't up to us to solve other peoples problems.

You could sit them both down and show them a vidio of them arguing.=. Tell them that you are tired of it and want some peace in the family. Tell them no more blame. Ask them to think of some stress avoidence ideas and encourage them to work on it. They have cycle of angery. Time for a change
Good luck

Answer 7

ok, one idea that i would do is to get some friends of yours that they dont know and have them go to this house and ring the door bell. the family will answer and your friends will say 'hi, we're just wondering if it would be alright if we can observe your house for one night? we've heard rumors from past owners about the house being haunted and we wanted to see if we could get some documented evidence of an actual ghost.' then make up some creepy ghost story for your friends to tell them what the rumors are about. say for example, the rumor is that the past owners use to see a little girl just standing around the house looking at people or something weird like that.

it doesnt matter if the family agrees to have them stay the night or not. if they say 'no', then hopefully this will just drive them crazy thinking there is a ghost in the house.

if they do let the friends stay the night or part of the night, have your friends bring a digital voice recorder and act like they are doing an EVP (electronic voice phenomenon) experiment. this is when you record yourself in a haunted place asking the spirit questions and recording it all. after you record the audio, when you go back and listen to it, you're soppose to hear the sound of a ghost talking back to you. just have your friends record themselves asking the ghost questions at night and then they leave at night. have them take that recording and have someone else talk in a loud whisper voice and say soemthing creepy like 'get out of my house!' or 'help me please' or 'we all go mad we all go mad' in a creepy little kids singing tone.

then have them go back and play it for the family. this is enough to scare the crap out of me and make me want to leave the house. and the whole time this is going on, you have to keep trying to ignore them so it doesnt look like you're the ones who planned this all

ive always wanted to do this to someone i hate, cause i know how mad i would go if i found out my house was haunted. this just seemed like the best opertunity to share my plan with someone. plus, the mind plays tricks on people when they're scared. their house might not really be haunted, but having them think that it is, they might see things or they might think things are happening when they're really not, it'll drive them mad

if you actually do this, email me and tell me how it goes, [e-mail]

you can go with that idea or you could try and make them think they have a mental problem, which it sounds like they most probably do, and that they need to seek help, and be serious about it. even go as far as to call in doctors and tell them you think they have a mental problem and need to see a phsycologist or something

Answer 8

Buy boxing gloves for both of them. It will prevent any further injuries. When my uncle and aunt were children, they used to fist fight a lot so their father bought them boxing gloves. Worked really well.

Answer 9

Hmmm try talking to both of them about how your uncomfortable with their relationship and if talking and trying to set aside their differences doesn't work than maybe some therapy or a social worker could help.Be creative and try different things to make them closer.

Answer 10

Stand Between them!
