What's everyone's family fighting about today?
Main Post:
Just wondering what everyone's family drama is like.
Top Comment: My mom put my sister’s phone in the oven and burnt it. Yet somehow she (my mom) is the victim. So there’s that.

Any stats on weight/height of each fighter?
Any pics or videos showing the size disparity?
Also, my condolences to her family. I cannot imagine the grief they are feeling.

When I graduated high school and decided on leaving home for university, oh lawd the amount of arguing and screaming my parents did still makes me shiver
I (16F) created a huge family fight. How do I fix it?
Main Post:
It has been about a month or so since I posted and I figured I would update you guys(since I love updates). Unfortunaly is not a good one...
My father asked for a divorce about a week after the post, it caught me out of guard and I was shocked. They talked before this but my dad came home even more upset than the day on the restaurant.
He asked me whether I’d like to live with him or my mom and I chose him. I love my mom to death but on the day-to-day basis I get along better with my father. I called her to explain but as soon as I said said she disconnected the call so yeah.... I wrote her a letter and tried to give when we went home to her our things but she ripped off, which was very painful to see. My dad and brother started screaming at her and I left with my SIL.
I went with my dad to have a consultation with my psychologist and they tried to help me see why she is doing this. From what I can understand, there might be some reasons
I went through a pretty tough period, I got depressed, anxious and had some problems with eating disorder but I’ve been in medication and therapy, which has helped a lot. After this I felt much happier and had energy to work on myself, I started working out with my brother, my SIL teached me how to use make up and my grandma gave me a bunch of gift cards to buy some new clothes. I’ve also started trying new hobbies and my days are really busy.
We think that my mom started feeling left out and jealous of me, especially since my brother/dad started paying more attention to me and I know they have actively making an effort to compliment me and pay attention to what I say/am interested in.
She thought that with the new baby she would be the grandma but she and my SIL don’t get along that well(they don’t fight but they don’t have much in common either) and I guess she was feeling pretty sad.
After the post I started wondering whether my mom had been through some sort of abuse, which could explain her reaction to my dad seeing me naked and whatnot. It wasn’t that.
My dad said he was a victim of sexual abuse and that it came from someone he trusted and was family, so my mom saying this made him enraged. He tried talking to her after but apparently she just kept implying it and he can’t keep being married to someone who would say this.
There’s more about it but that’s basically what went wrong.
I’m honestly heartbroken, I can’t wrap my head around what my mom did and I still feel guilty about this whole story(even more now, since it was bc of me that felt left out). I don’t know what our relationship will be like, my dad has the full custody but said I could visit her anytime I want but we haven’t talked yet and she hasn’t tried to contact me.
My brother still talks to her but not as much, he says she is ok, he said she asks about me but I think he’s lying.
We are living with my grandma but will move to a new house next month, it seems like a cool place and is close to my brothers work.
On a happier note, SIL is almost ready for the baby and the name I suggested was the chosen one! I can’t wait to meet my niece :D

Hey, none of this is your fault! I know why you'd feel that way, but look - your mom is an adult. She's acting like a child, jealous of attention you're getting, implying terrible things about her husband - basically treating people she should love with self centered aggressiveness. That's not mature adult behavior, and it's not your fault she is this way. Do you think she cared what your SIL wanted with birth and tried to understand, or did she make it about her? Do you think she cared about how your dad felt when she insulted him? Do you think she was acting out of love when she ripped up your letter, or she just wanted to hurt you because it's all about her? Has she apologized?
Meanwhile, here you are, a 16 year old - trying to make your SIL feel comfortable, trying to help your dad, trying to patch things up with your mom. You're clearly a loving, empathetic, wonderful person. You want everyone to be happy. Unfortunately, some people just can't be, and that's not your fault to fix. It's theirs, and you just have to accept that. The way you've tried to navigate all this comes from a place of love, not bitterness and hate, and I hope you can keep that in mind when you're feeling down on yourself.
