📝 AITA for not wanting to have anything to do with my parents arguments

Since a few years now my(20+) parents have been arguing nonstop without anything getting better. However a few months ago my father decided to officially end his ,,romantic,,relationship with my mom and decided to separate their living spaces (we live in a house that is divided into 2 apartments, me and my father live in one my mother in the other apartment). He didn’t want to share a space with her anymore

My mother didn’t like that and still continued to live on as if nothing happened, which led to ny father installing new locks in order to keep her out (he doesn’t mind if she visits me upstairs but just doesn’t want her in his room or the upstairs kitchen). This upset my mother greatly and since my father wouldn’t change his mind she has since tried to get me to change his mind about all of this.

Now I have tried my best to not get involved and to just let my parents handle it themselves (because I dissociate or have panic attacks if I don’t) but this is getting harder as my mother doesn’t accept me not wanting to get involved and wants me to talk to him about everything.

Today she tried to go into my fathers rooms (again) to which I stopped her and told her that dad doesn’t want that and has even explicitly asked that I do not let her into his spaces. She got very angry and screamed at me to let her in and I got scared and let her in, after I let her in she screamed at me and tried to get me to talk to him about the situation again, and I said to her that she has to talk to my father about this. My mother screamed at me that I would do something but I just told her the same thing. Because I was starting to get a panic attack I couldn’t do anything really.

But now that I have calmed down I feel like I should have done more so aita?
