For as long as I can remember, my parents have been getting into fights. The longest they've gone without fighting is, recently, just a few months. Another one of their little fighting streaks started just yesterday. It seems like they can't say anything to each other without one of them at least biting back passive-aggressively. Sometimes I feel like the only life lesson I've learned from them is "How to not get in a fight with your SO 101". To be fair though, both of them did have abusive family situations and they are probably being affected by it. But they're constantly reminding me "Oh, this is normal for families." or "Nothing to worry about, lots of couples get in fights all the time!" Makes me wonder what families they've been hanging around, because dude. I will admit, that over the 10 years I can remember them fighting, it has gotten a bit better. Like, my mom has quit throwing and breaking things and swearing up a storm, and my dad doesn't run away as often, plus they are getting counseling. Also, it has never gotten out of hand to a point where it hurts me or my siblings, and they always seem kind of disappointed that they fought in front of us.
