I've sworn when I have kids never to argue in front of them because of how much it's affected me. I get anxious all the time, because any little sign of conflict they have I go into panic mode

[pain]

The manipulation is unforgivable. Let your ego die when it comes to your children. Seriously how selfish of a person do you have to be to have your petty arguments and involve your child

[chrisgomez]

Arguing parents will never see wat theyre arguing is through our eyes

[tomtenisse]

I grew up with parents "aggressively" fighting each other very often (at least that's how I experienced it).

And I didn't even realize those clips showed in the video were particulary bad. Casue that's just childhood, right? Damn. It's so sad how stuff like that just sticks with you.

[shortcourt]

no matter how old this gets...it will remind me of my parents. im almost 27 years old, and the effects of my own parents fighting has hit me so hard to where I have trust issues, abandonment issues, attachment issues, depression and anxiety...even now my parents still act this way as I am an adult. it never gets easier.

parents need to learn to keep your kids out of your adult fights. this why parents have their rooms or talk outside away from them. if you're relationship is getting toxic end it in good term and move on with your life. never bad mouth each other in front of your kids.

I'm watching this while my parents are fighting

[andreas]

I just want my parents to know how cruelly they have mentally tortured me. I feel hollow inside of me. I feel my heart rotting away. I guess asking love in return of love was just too much. It's all my bloody fault isn't it?
Edit after 9 months: I hope and pray for the best for everyone and yeah, things do get better.
Edit 2: bro bruh I never said children are never wrong, they sure are wrong at times too but I was just talking about the harsh treatment of kids by parents. That's it get the context.

Seeing this as a 15 year old girl and having those conditions in the household growing up even but even worse(and still continues to happen), makes me think wow look into the person that I've become today and it's because of this. It's the biggest factor that plays out and I'm sorry for that little girl. She's gonna grow up having issues with her parents and it honestly sucks. ;/ I try not to let it affect me but yea it's bad. I feel bad for her.

[prakritinegi]

You can say I searched this up because rn my parents are fighting so loudly saying how they regretted marrying each other and even saying hard stuff and I am having a anxiety attack for past 1 hour and I am trying hard not to cry ...I searched this up just to distract myself

[notsmallman]

when parents are fighting and dads shirt is off... things are gonna get wild

[janedawson]

This woman is a victim of domestic violence but at the same time she is a perpetuator of child abuse. Not protecting your child and getting her out of That environment is child abuse in itself. The child comes first. Get up, take your child and leave.

[RandaLeigh]

I have recovered from this but it still hunts me to this day. For any kid going through this right now, get yourself out of that situation! Live with another relative or friend that’s is more willing to help you of your parents don’t change their own toxic ways. Also, seeking counseling when you can. I had to get it after my mom’s second divorce. I was suicidal around that time, I wished I had gotten myself out of there earlier. I’m now pregnant with my first child and I’m hoping not to make the same mistakes as my parents did.

[Mono-hzes]

“Did we get a divorce yet?!” LOL WAIT-

[strawbrry_saturnzbarz]

God I am so tempted to send this to both of my parents

[LazyAndFabulous]

When a child witnesses their parents fighting, they tend to drop their self-esteem and have issues of confidence; as the child realizes, that their beloved family can become something, they wouldn't realize that it's their fear. Once the brain recognize that, it will start making trust issues. Though of course it depends if it was extreme.

Husband is a narcissist. Phil is a narcissist. Screaming isn't the issue here. The narcissistic abuse is. Kids CAN SEE who the abuser is.

[grey_maniac]

Today i see my stepdad being abusive to my mom and i get anxiety and stress and this is the problem to my depression i just wish I never had a family because all they do is fight and argue and sometimes i just want peace in my life parents don't see what their children see I am 15 years old and worry about my future

[lalamakeuprehab]

How dare she! How dare either of them bring the child into it !!

[unpluggedbug]

Half the audience more likely than not also acts like this.
