 Couples argue sometimes and it can be difficult as a child not to get emotionally upset when your parents have rows. However, my parents used to have stinking bust ups followed by weeks of silence and note-passing...ridiculously childish but there you go. I learned that the best thing to do as 'piggy in the middle' is not to take sides and not to get involved. They may not be mature enough to debate their differences of opinion more diplomatically but you can demonstrate maturity on their behalf by trying not to get involved. They are both adults who need to resolve their differences between themselves.
