Stuck Between a Rock and a... Well, Rock.

So basically, my parents aren't getting along. Sure, they have had there disputes when I was younger, but they are getting pretty serious now. So pretty much my mom has been overreacting to a lot of things. But the biggest of all is Facebook. So pretty much, all my uncles and family members have been using Facebook to stay connected after the reunion not too long ago. No biggy. Now my mom thinks he has been using Facebook to find old high school sweethearts. Probably not true. But whatever. So usually I just ignore domestic disputes. Keeps me out of trouble, and it is usually settled. But this has been going on for weeks now. They've completely lost each other's trust, and worst of all, have been directly coming to me to try and rat the other side out, but I know nothing. Now they still think I know stuff because I get nervous when I get interrogated. I know who started this whole things, my mother, but is both of their faults for not just growing up. My mom said she is trying to fix the problem, but in fact is making it worse. Now mix this in with my huge gaming addiction and new and VERY important classes coming up, this isn't going too well. I'm being pressured to rat, I'm getting stressed out, my parents might get a divorce, and I was just starting to form a relationship with my dad again. And it was going damn good this time. Now it is falling apart because he thinks I'm holding secrets from him, and vice versa.

So really guys, I just need some advice from anyone who has been in this situation.

The same thing happened to me except in reverse and my mom was actually cheating on my dad. Even after her affair ended she was still on Facebook and my dad didn't trust her. So I fixed the problem by doing the impossible, I broke the internet. Not really, I just disconnected it. I left it unhooked for a few days and the arguing slowed down. That may help you.


EDIT: If your mom thinks your dad unhooked it, you should probably reconnect it.

My dad would know how to connect it back in. Unfortunately I taught him all the basics of computer setups and how the internet works.

Well, it may be different for you depending on the anatomy of your router. I disconnected mine from the wall source behind my TV so not even my dad who taught me everything could figure it out. Find the farthest back plug in point.

It is by the houses power supply. He's used it a few times when he got all mangry at the internet for being slow. I appreciate the help though. :)

EDIT: Ninja'd. But that is the thing, I'm pretty sure my dad isn't talking to anyone. My mom always suspects the worst of every situation. And there was some drama sort of recently. My mom usually works with my dad, and they got in an argument, and ever since then **** has been hitting the fan harder and harder, but Facebook has got to be the biggest chunk of **** to hit the fan, and it might just break it. My dad may be looking up people from the past, but he hasn't spent nearly enough time that I have noticed on Facebook to be conversing with them. But there are obviously other sources of communication. I'm just going to have to try and avoid them. Maybe stay the weekend at a friends house or something.

And with the hair thing, I was thinking of cutting it. It is far too thick and long. And well, I know I'm gonna look like a total pansy and destroy my "that guy looks like a murderer" cover, but I was thinking of donating in one of those cancer things. A win win.

And the day I get a girl is the day when the world will end in 2012... Because it isn't, and if it somehow does, that is my luck.
 
Re: Stuck Between a Rock and a... Well, Rock.

Here's what I would do: Whenever they're telling you about something that the other one might be doing, just say something like, "Why are you telling me this?" Or if you happen to pass them by while they're arguing, throw in the phrase, "grow up", and just keep walking. If they happen to stop you, just tell them how immature and irrational they're being.

But maybe my advice isn't the best in the world. I've never been in a situation like this, and I hate my family, except for my dog.

I wouldn't do this, considering how strained your relationship is with your father.
