Hi hurtingirl, i'm 14 and i have some what the same problem. I mean my parents sometimes do fight, but its mainly because either me, my sis or my bro. Also my parents keep talking about leaving or something and then I get real sad and angry inside. I want my life to be "perfect" but no one can take on that role, its just not the way that we live. I understand how you get depressed, I moved from Saudi Arabia a year ago to the States, and i don't have much anyone to talk too. My dad worked there for quite some time, but then it got bad that we had to move for the welfare of our safety. Though i don't know what it feels like to feel sick everyday, I think it would be cool if we chatted with one another. I mean I could really use a friend right now myself too. Send me a message if you feel like exchanging emails.
From, Michelle
Hey hon.
I know what you're saying, I live with my grandparents. I think they fight more than my actual parents did... they've just got a lot of unresolved issues, things that have happened before I was even born. I can't talk to my grandparents about depression or anything else, because it only puts an added burden on them. My mom basically thinks I'm faking everything or it's just 'growing pains'. I think she's just tired of dealing with me. My dad's not in the picture, he's got issues I don't even want to think about it. I've moved a lot, I've got some good friends here finally but then again I always feel like I've got to be happy for them, because they worry immensely. I'm sorry about what you're going through, my email is rosecolormyworld@hotmail.com if you ever want to get in touch and talk.
