Todays her birthday and she's turning 50. I'm 17 my birthday was last week. On my bday I was completely alone for it since they both had work. I wasn't mad just lonely. For 2 days my parents have been arguing like hard core yelling screaming throwing things. I still have to study and work. It's been a lot mentally especially with each parents shit talking each other to me. Today was all good until they argued again. Lasted hours and it's still going. My dads been on his phone a lot too. He also forgot the cake and then another argument arrived. It wasn't screaming but definitely uncomfortable energy since we're in a restaurant. Then my mom brought up a questions I asked about school parking. They both said "I was lying and idk what I'm talking about" when I'm literally the one parking there and have friends parking there. Anyway it wasn't a big deal but they kept yelling at me and arguing so I got overwhelmed and started crying. My nose also bled so it made it worse 😭. I ran to the br and tried to stop crying but it's one of those cries where you can't stop and can't breathe. They kept yelling at me to stop which obv doesn't help. And I was also dealing with a lot of friendship issues. So it just piled up. Idk anymore but then I also cried more bc I felt guilty for ruinging her bday.
