My names Sarah and Im 17. Ive been blessed with the worlds greatest parents who have given so much to there 3 children. From the outside we look like the perfect family, but lately in the inside were troubled. My fathers work moved him 4 years ago, and every since,  3 hours away in Death Valley, California so we only see him on the weekends. My fathers whole life he's been a complusive liar. For the last couple years my parents have been getting in fights with each one ending in "im going to get a divorce" but they never ment it. Over the weekened my parents got in a fight in my mom room for 4 hours straight, I had to lie to my little brother to get him out of the house so he would'nt hear what was going on. I over heard "You LIAR, I HATE you! Why did you do this to me!?" and "its because of your past that haunts me, and constaly hurts me and humiliates me. you say you love me, but if you did you wouldnt have done this!" My mother confronted me saying my father no longer wanted to be with my mother and what he did she could never forgive him. For now on myself and my youngest brother will eaither go to his house, or he'll come here but my mom wont be at home or he'll sleep in my room. I love my parents and I dont want their marriage to end, even though they dont I believe they can work this out.

My question for you, should I try to get the help by dr.phil on the show, or is this not drastic enough?

Thanks
