Family arguments

My brother is fighting with my parents right now and it’s honestly ridiculous. My dog passed a few days ago and I’m honestly not happy because right now everyone should get together to take care of each other’s well-being. Instead the rest of the family are fighting with each other for some ridiculous thing.

Honestly…can’t we just get along? Especially during this sad time?

My mom is sad and I’m sad, so I’m going to stay together with her for a few nights. We need each other for a while. So my dad decided to let us share a bedroom while we grieve.

But honestly I don’t want my family to fight at this time. And it’s triggering my paranoia and anxiety, especially now that my doggo is gone.

Anyway…thank you for listening. What do you guys do to cope when you’re exposed to loud stimuli (e.g. arguments)?

I’m watching TV right now. My other doggo is shaking right now because of trauma (he gets triggered by loud noise). My brother is screaming on the top of his lungs about how sensitive my mom is.

I just want to grieve in peace. I’m still mourning, my mom is mourning, and my dad is mourning…just urgh.

I’m sorry. That’s just so awful. Hopefully, the yelling stops soon and you can then grieve in peace

…still yelling. My brother is still angry.

I’m a little bit anxious. This is going to be for a while.

Honestly, I just want to grieve…and not get triggered

I understand that, it really sucks. Do you have headphones?

I do. I’m wearing them right now but he is yelling so loud that it is getting through the earphones.

I’m afraid our upstairs neighbour is going to phone the police. The walls are thin.

Maybe calling the police isn’t such a bad thing. It sounds like your brother is out of control

Urgh…I don’t know what to do. Now my mom is being blamed for saying stuff she didn’t say.

Honestly. This is ridiculous. I honestly hate this!

I just want peace. For the love of God!!

i don’t know what you could do otherwise… confronting your brother will prob not help huh…

Hang in there. I doubt it’ll last forever. Eventually, he’ll probably get sick of yelling about it. Hopefully he’ll leave the house and cool off soon

I tried to mitigate his anger. Did not work.

It’s a little bit cooled down now but my dad is being a lifesaver now. He’s trying to manage the argument.
