My parents have never really had a good or healthy relationship, and they need to sort it out. They should've divorced ages ago, in my opinion and in most peoples opinion who know them they're just not meant for eachother. Despite that however, they're still together for god knows what reason. Personally, I think they need counselling because since I still live with them, it's starting to affect me and how I feel about myself and my relationships with other people (they influence how I act based on how they act) and I've in the least got to get them sorted out if not for themselves but myself! How do I go about this? How should I tell them and persuade them into going and seeing someone about their issues? I've told them before but they just think I'm having a laugh or are insulted by it

Tell them they need counseling and if the fighting doesnt stop they need to get a divorce becuase you cant take seeing them this way.

you can talk with your parents and make them understand how you feel and try to sort it out

Be clear and frank to them. Tell them how you feel and how they are affecting your life and your relationship with others.Tell them that you can't bear it anymore.Though divorce is not a solution,as they can still try to change their behaviour for your sake, do propose them the options they have including counselling.

For how many years have they been like that?May be they are used to it and don't think that they really need to divorce.At least what they could do is avoid fighting when you are around.

hi i think the best thing you can do is talk to your parents...i think if they are staying together, its because of you they don;t want you to suffer...but since all there quarelling is affecting you, then better you tell them to get divorced...it will be in their benefit and yours as well...

your parents need to get counselling but for that, you've to let them know how their behaviour is affecting you and their relationship. simple measures are not working, so try drastic ones (but not too...). when i was much younger and my parents relationship got out of hand and i wanted them to listen to me, i left the house...without telling them. i went to my aunt's place. when they realised i was missing, they were shocked and all worried about it... my aunt called them after some time. we sat and spoke about it all at my aunt's when they came to pick me up... i refused to go with them until they listened and started counselling. they started a couple of days later...

wat michael did was quite drastic....bt it served its purpose....show yr parents that their behaviour is really upsetting you n it can affect seriously ur views abt marriage n couples.....and if they really want to make things better and easier for u then they should get some counselling...i guess they are too busy with their quarrels that they barely noticed the effect its having on u......
