    Well, here's the thing...My parents have been separated since I was 7 (for 7 years).... And now this guy is coming around (one of my mom and dad's friends) wanting them to get back together.... Which is what I have always wanted but the thing is... I don't want to go back to the fights and the long nights I would sit in my room crying..... That before my dad moved out...him and my mom used to go in their room and fight.... And I Remember ... me and my brother would be watching TV and we would hear them Fighting ... and we would turn it up and still hear it.... We tried Everything ... we would sit in the living room for about 2 hours just listening to them fight and scream..... And I can remember how ... me and my brother used to bang on their door and yell at the top of our lungs "stop fighting" then they would get mad at us.... I know it was a long time ago and doesn't seem like much ... but this is what I wanted to happen for those 7 years and now that I'm thinking about it I don't want it...I don't want to go back to the praying and the crying..... do you know anything that I could do to get through this somehow?....

    Aw hun,
    You have to be strong, it is not your fault that your parents are fighting. All human beings fight from time to time and your parents do too. Just tell them not to fight where you are or yell or something when they're fighting to make them realise they have to stop. Giving them this post would help too, to show them how much you guys really hurt from them two fighting. Just be strong and if your parents want to get back together let them, everyone deserves a chance to fix their mistakes. This time it could be different. Have Faith

    During a span of 7 years people can do a lot of thinking and old wounds can heal. Perhaps your parents have acquired more wisdom and more maturity in that time and will be better equpped to have a harmonious relationship.

    If you can, I think you should voice your concerns and fears to your parents or, as BeautifulDisaster suggested, give them a copy of your post. They should be willing to take your concerns into consideration. If they really want to reconcile, then maybe it would be a good idea if they just "dated" first. That should enable them to determine whether they can get along without fighting again before they live under the same household again.

    I hope things work out well for you...and for them.
