Okay, come on.
Let's hug.
Let's hug.
All right, so we have an email from Vanessa, and she's in San Francisco, and she writes, I'm 21 years old and an only child.
I moved back home two months ago to pay off debt while working as a first grade teacher.
Since returning, I've noticed that my parents' arguing has worsened because of their different values.
This often leads to daily yelling, especially about how money should be spent.
I tried talking to both of them.
Isn't it cute?
I know.
Explaining that these value differences are not new.
God, bless her heart.
And that constantly fighting won't change that.
It's only stressing them out and affecting their health.
My efforts have led to no change.
And both refused to go to therapy.
This situation has taken a toll on me too.
It's caused me a great deal of stress and it's made it difficult to be present while I'm teaching.
Sitting by and doing nothing feels impossible because I care about both of them.
Am I the problem?
