Dear Abby,

Dear Abby,

How do I deal with my parents fighting all the time?

Dear Worried Child,

The first thing you need to acknowledge is that it’s not your fight and not your fault. And you most certainly don’t need to take sides in the conversation. You have to create your safe space as well. A place where you can be free of the fighting and the worrying. Because in things like this, it’s really important you stay calm. A lot of parents fight, but If the fighting gets worse, maybe it’s time that you talk with a trusted someone about the topic. It’s you need to let someone know privately what you’re going through. Make sure you communicate, too. You have to let your parents know when they’re calmed down what you’re feeling. Chances are that your parents love you so much they’ll take your feelings into mind. Parents fight. You can’t deny or avoid it. The only thing you need to also understand is that it’s going to get better soon. Don’t worry.

Dear Abby,

How do I deal with my 2 best friends dating?

Dear Feeling Like A 3rd Wheeler,

Its hard to accept it at first, trust me. But they’re your friends, and you can’t deny that you want them to be happy. Try talking to them about how you feel about everything. If you guys really do care for each other, you’ll will listen to each other’s feelings, and take them into thought as well. Also try feeling empathy for them. It’s not easy hearing that their friend feels left out. Look on the positive side. If they’re happy, try feeling happy for them as well.

Love, Abby
