*sighs* My family is having quite a few difficulties right now. Everyone seems to be in a bad mood except for me. (I don't have anything to be upset about, and I prefer not to be upset anyway.)
My dad is angry over work and softball. He's our coach and he's getting stressed over a game that he isn't even coaching for. It's an all star game with a few girls from each team playing each other. The girls from our team didn't know what time the game was, so it was up to him to call around and find out. He got angry about it and started calling people bad names and yelling and saying he shouldn't ever have coached and that kind of stuff.
My mom got upset because he was upset and yesterday, my dad had been talking about how nice it would be to sit around the house with the family, and then he went to play cards with his brothers, leaving the three of us at home, which also made her upset. Yesterday, she was making snide comments about him and stuff, and so was my sister. It really makes me sad to hear her talking that way about him, but he's no better, he talks about her that way too. My mom sometimes even goes so far to say to me, "I wish he would just leave." He's threatened to a couple of times. He actually left once, and spent the night in his car, but that was a long time ago.
My sister doesn't help matters at all. She gets angry over the smallest thing, but I don't suppose I help all that much either.
I sort of run away. I go in my room and ignore the yelling. I read a book or watch TV. I don't know what else to do, really. It's really hard to listen to them, especially when I can't block them out or if it's over something I've done. The thing about that is, my dad is never angry with me. If he ever should be angry with me, he turns it into my sister's fault. This has caused a very big gap between us, and I don't know what to do about that either. Somedays, it's so bad between us, we can't even sit in the same room. We get along better when we're farther apart, that's for sure. Sometimes, when dad is mad at mom, he deliberately shows bigger amounts of affection and pampering to me in front of her. Which doesn't help mom like me all that much sometimes. It makes me sad. I know my mom loves me, but dad keeps doing things to separate me from mom and my sister, it feels like. It makes me a little angry too.

Family Problems
The choice has been made. There's no looking back. I won't let up, back up, give up, or shut up. My focus clear. My path is straight. My God, reliable. I'm a disciple of Christ.
Gods plan is like the sun. its too big and bright to look at directly, and sometimes the rain clouds cover it, but sometimes the plan dapples through the clouds and we can see beautiful glimpses of what he has in store for us.

I'm not sure what to say, SW, but I'll pray.

I feel your pain, Spirit_Wolf. I have pretty bad family problems too. I'll remember to pray for you.

It's not getting any better. Daddy's yelling at my sister now because of her attitude. I know her attitude is bad, but the way he handles it doesn't help.
Mom is talking to her now, but they're both crying I feel like crying. I don't know what to do.

Money, get away
Get a good job with good pay and you're okay
And all and all you're just another brick in the wall
Shoutin’ in the street gonna take on the world some day
But Bismallah will not let me go
Because I'll see you on the dark side of the moon
Tommy used to work on the docks
Union's been on strike
Bright eyes burning like fire
And exposing every weakness
However carefully hidden by the kids
Who will love a little Sparrow
Who's traveled far and cries for rest
Spare him his life from this monstrosity
I've seen a million faces and I've rocked them all
And if the band youre in starts playing different tunes
We will we will rock you
We will we will rock you!
