Learn how to protect your peace and spiritual life when caught in the crossfire of your parents' explosive arguments. Discover why you aren't responsible for being their counselor.

It’s important to realize that your parent's anger isn't your fault or your responsibility to fix. You are not a counselor; you are a growing person with your own path, your own spiritual life, and your own peace to protect.

Miles: Hey Jackson, I was thinking about how tough it is when you’re still growing up, but you feel like you have to be the counselor for your own parents. You love them, they’re cool, but then the "ticking bomb" goes off and it’s just ugly yelling.
Jackson: It’s an incredibly heavy burden, Miles. And it’s more common than people think. Did you know that twenty-five percent of adult women report experiencing violence from a partner? When that tension fills a home, it’s natural to want to escape into something like video games, even if it makes you feel like your spiritual life is hitting a wall.
Miles: Right, and it’s confusing because you see your dad battling these negative thoughts and stress, and you want to help, but you aren't a professional.
Jackson: Exactly. It’s important to realize that his anger isn't your fault or your responsibility to fix. Let’s explore how you can protect your own peace while navigating a home that feels unpredictable.
