My mom and stepdad are mentally ill and driving me insane as well?

First off, things like this happen more than you think. Live a month with my parents, undry dishes will seem like a big deal compared to what they fight over. Second, have you noticed any differences in your parents' affection towards each other?

More fighting than usual? Unhappy looks on their faces? Are they not doing as many things together as before?

If so, they may be falling out of love. This is quite common actual and usually a divorce follows. When most married couples hit a certain age, usually when the kids are grown, things aren't the same anymore.

Sometimes, this actually happens when the kids are still growing, but the parents hide it for the kids' sake. I would stay out of his way when he is mad, try not to provoke him. If you are close to him, perhaps talk to him and see if he is OK emotionally.

If they were to divorce, depending on how old you and your sister are, he would have to give some money to your mom (saying that you two would live with her). Once you two are 18, child support ends and you are on your own for money. If finances are a big deal, I would consider getting a job or if you have one, work overtime.

Don't make a big deal of what he says. If the latter is true, couples usually argue about the stupidest things just because they are unhappy overall. If the marriage is fine, he may just be stressed.

When someone is stressed about something, any little imperfection will seem like a big deal to them. Don't worry, I would just focus on helping him out in any way you can so perhaps life can go back to normal soon. Good luck.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
