Hi I am 13 years old and my mom is 55 years old, and ever since she got married her whole life was about getting her dream house on the farm. Since my mom is 55 years old today. And hasn't gotten her house yet. She thinks my dad has broken his promise to buy her a house, and she also thinks that he has hidden the money away from her because he says that he thinks my mother needs help and is going insane. I don't want to believe that, but what choice do I have. He bought a house in Las Vegas but my mom didn't want the house and she had to say yes because of all the pressure he put her under when I was at school. She is very scared of him, but will no divorce him because like I said she thinks that the money is in his name and his hidding it in an account or something. They fight and yell at each other for hours a day. While I'm inside.
I need advice before something bad happens. Please Help!

Try not to take your parents' burdens on yourself. Just hug your mom, wish her happy birthday, and tell her you love her, and that someday YOU will buy her that dream home.

You DO have a choice about what you believe, even though parents can tell you what to do. Keep what you believe in your heart, let it out when you are alone with the person it involves, and be careful what you say. That's all you can do.

Divorce lawyers are good at finding hidden bank accounts. Suggest that she might start salting a few dollars away herself. But she may be hanging onto the marriage for more complicated reasons that she doesn't tell you, so don't try to press her.

I think you tell your mom, and dad that all that arguing and yelling is getting to you, and making you feel afraid, and bad.
