I'm 21 and at home for the summer from uni. Earlier tonight my father came downstairs and saw there were a few dishes that needed to be done and completely flipped. He started shouting at everything and then made a big deal because I didn't know it was raining and had left the washing on the line.

After he fights with me and my younger sister, he goes upstairs and starts a fight with my mother. She is going away on Tuesday for a month and he told her not to bother coming back. I'm really worried about their arguing all the time as he has a heart problem and my mother is disabled.

Their arguing has a huge effect on me and my younger sister. I wish I didn't have to be home for the summer and I wish I could do something for my sister as well, but I can't. Every time they argue I feel hugely sick and just want to cry.

Does anyone have any tips for me? Its getting harder and harder to stay out of their arguments, but I do not like to hear him tell her not to come home. I try to talk to them but they do not seem to hear.
 
its called stress your father did not mean dont come back he meant how will i cope without you here for a whole month. illness takes it toll on ones sanity. try to get him to see the doctor while your mums away. but he may be even more difficult to deal with good luck
 
i am sorry. i feel bad for your younger sister when you are not around. you try to talk to them? they don't hear? i know it might be hard
but honestly if you just want to cry.. then cry.
break down. in front of them.
tell them you don't want to live like this. and you don't want the little one to live through this. (even if she's not so little)
"what happened to our family? we used to be so happy?"
"i can't stand to see us like this"
"you're messing both of us up psychologically"
still no response?
"i will report you to child protective services for mental abuse.."
even though you can't lol especially if they don't touch either of you.. it will get their attention just by being dramatic and they will hear what you have to say
it works everrrrrrrrrrry time! :) hahah
good luck and keep your head up!!!!
remember: it could always be worse!
