What do you do when your parents fight?


When I was little I used to sit by my bedroom door and listen to it, worrying about it. But then I got older and realized that there was nothing I could do about it. My headphones became my best friend. If it really got bad enough that there was a risk of violence, and I would want to step in to prevent that, it would get loud enough that I could hear it even with the headphones.
My parents fought for years. Her fault. His fault. Didn't matter, lots a screaming and yelling, pushing ans shoving (But NEVER any actual physical abuse)
We were kids during most of it, even up through teen years. We just had to stay out of the way, or just try to sleep through it.
Sometimes one of them would just stop and go out, get in the car and drive off.
As we got older, I even went out got in my car and took off just driving.
I used to hide under the kitchen table with my sister because my dad drank a lot back in those days.
My mom only argues with my dad sometimes because he wasn't doing something right but they never scream she just argues a little. When they do that I just wait until it stops because it's a normal thing. They get over their argument eventually but my dad''s so gentle so he never really argues back lol.
