What do you think about this..?

Question

My parents always talk bad about each other in front of me. They have ever since I could remember, and I'm in my 22 so.. been going on for a long time. It makes me feel really bad when my mom's calling my dad nasty names (which are often true, but still..) and my dad also calling my mom names (which are often untrue, but anyway..). My mom knows how I feel about it and always "tries" not to say things in front of me, but obviously that has rarely been the fact. My dad always says "he's just kidding." Right. That might have worked when I was 8, and not even. Anyway, what do you think of parents trash-talking each other in front of their children? I think it SUCKS, frankly. It hurts me a lot, and always has. By the way, my parents are not divorced, but they're certainly not happy.

Answer 1

Sounds to me that you are the more mature one. Take them to dinner, and tell them that you need to talk to them. wait and tell them at dinner, get them out of the house, and tell them that you know it is going to be hard. but this is something that they have to work on. That they have done this as long as you can remember, and it has to stop, and it has to stop now. If they can't say any thing good about each other, then just don't say nothing at all. Tell them, life is too short, and they need to be nicer to each other. if not for their sake, then for mine.

Answer 2

man ure not the only one my parents tell each other crap all the time. and some times they act all happy its weird but thats just how some parents are.
