I had seen my parents fight in front of me. As I grew up, their problems became deeper. At first, I was too scared that if I say something they might displace their anger to me and they might hurt me physically. But when I became matured, both emotionally and intelectually, every time they fight I see to it that I approach both side and here their sides. Eventually, I made them realize their problem and set up some options in dealing with it. Maybe that is why, I am a Guidance Counselor. I help individuals see difficulties with less pressure.

I was very lucky when I was young my parents didn't quarrel very often only because my dad would never enter into one, he would just walk away so there was peace, sometimes I think maybe he should have spoken out a little more as it is not healthy to keep inner pain inside.
