Can you tell me a depressing story?

This is just one such example. Yesterday my mother lost her temper and started beating my father. With charger, with belt, with nails, with hanger, with kitchen instruments, she used everything she found to hit him. I increased the volume of the TV, to help me and my sister to not give attention to what was happening in the house.

Sounds of slamming against the wall and many more started coming. My sister stood at the door of the room where my parents were fighting. She came back and sat in front of the TV, holding her tears back. Her eyes at TV, pretending as she was busy watching the interesting serial, but man, I read her eyes. Full of terror and sadness. That was enough. I can't see my sister like that. I went there and saw something which I want you all to visualise.

She became mad at me, wanted to beat me but my father stood in between. She slapped him, hit him in the eyes, shouted at me and went in her room. After some 10–15 mins, I went to her and said sorry.

What makes someone feel "rich enough" in different societies?

Festivals are not festivals for us. It's just another day of drama for us. I hate my family for this.

This answer comes from a 19 year old girl.

Some 2 years back, my mother was trying to stab my father with a knife. I got in between and snatched the knife from my mother's hand. I had held the knife from the sharp edge and got my palm and fingers cut(just 4 days before my board exam). As the heat of the moment was, I didn't feel any pain but blood was oozing out of my hand. My father noticed that and even asked me about that, but my mother didn't stop.

A year ago ,I was a real porn addicted(btw I was 18) ,but never had sex before, I don't have a gf I didn't try to find one even ,always thinking to go to find a sex worker but then I just don't , everyday watching different bodies getting fucked and everyday enjoying. One day, I was watching porn, a big ass lady with big boobs ,just after seeing her the image of my female cousin poped in my mind, (let's introduce her : she's 35 years old , very big ass , nice boobs ,not very big but nice,always wearing tight clothes , she's divorced ) and I thought of me fucking her ,I never had sexual desires for her but now I do days went by and when I met her I was so horny ,I couldn't stay with the family cz my penis was clearly erected , I realized this is my first time I get horny for one of my family ,it not illegal in my country.well to make a long story short( if u want details just text me I will tell u 😊),I decided to give her signs that I want to fuck her,finally I decided to have sex and with my cousin , I thought it is the best beggining for me, i started touching her when I came across her in a narrow place , make her feel my hard cock when we hug , I thought it will hard and I will be ashamed but no , I felt nothing and she said nothing , probably she thought it was by mistake,anyways, I decided then to talk with her about sex, waited for her to be alone in a room and talk with her, I confessed everything about me watching porn and addicted..etc,she said it's normal and u are growing up and u must have sex,well at that time I was like whaaat????? Well I didn't control myself and asked her for sex ( horny like I Ve never been before) she said that she will think Abt it ,2 weeka went by then she called me ,telling that she reserved a room in a hotel and we meet tonight ,we met,and bruuhh, sex is great , I mean, I had to find a pirstitue ,what I was waiting for to have such a feeling ????, I will never forget that night, I started kissing her she was kissing hard ,she misses sex so bad , she sucked my dick and swallowed my semen ,I felt I'm in a dream , then when fucked ,her ass was very big and the anus was open ,didn't struggle to get my hard cock inside it , she was obviously missing sex , she was shouting ,fuck me yh fuck me , I go fast after every word until I cum , we did that 3 times , then we went to her pussy , using condoms I fucked her so hard the moans were higher , everything was perfect ,in the end I asked her to lick her body , licked pussy ,ass, boobs,then she sucked my cock until we sleeped ,all I know that she was dirty ,well before even having sex with her I knew she is an open minded woman , and a woman that looks that she donesnt know anything , but she knows everything, but never expected having sex with her ,well she was horny and that helped...but no one of us regretted that sex ever.. We still have sex from time to time ,and I started having sex with sex workers , joining threesomes..etc If u want pics of her text me.

She is not talking to me. I am the unfortunate one, who has witnessed the fights between my parents the most amongst my siblings. Still my mother has the audacity to say, ‘The fight did not happen only for you, your siblings are also living under the same circumstances, why the f*ck are you behaving different and sad.’ Even if I seem to be more sad and depressed, you can't say like that because every child is different.

And now, when I see my sister suffering due to all this, I feel very helpless. I have spent my entire childhood seeing this. I really don't want my sister to develop any traumas because of all these. I don't want my sister to be effected by this. I will study hard this year, get into a good college and do some part time job as well, do that I can send my sister to a hostel. At least she will stay away from all this and live a normal life.

My brother (then 20) was downstairs and my sister (then 12) was in school, so none of them witnessed this. The reason why I (then 17) am saying this will be stated at the last.

Can ringing in the ears be a sign of spiritual awakening?

From the past 2 years, the fights between them has intensed. Very intensed. Mind it when I use the word ‘fight’, I purely mean to say ‘my mother beating my father’. Because the moment my father tries to get himself free from my mother by holding her hand or pushing her a bit, my mother turns into a monster and the fight gets converted into a one sided war.

Having brought up in a broken family, I from the very childhood, am used to seeing fights between my parents. When I say broken family I do not mean that my parents are divorced. No, my parents are not divorcee, they are not alcoholic. They live together only to make each other's life hell. And in the rage of that, they end up making the life of us children hell.

Now, you would say everyone's house has such parents. Fights happen between couples. But believe me when I say that the fights of my house are not ‘normal’. My mother beats my father. She becomes mad when she is angry. Shouting? Yelling? What's that? She screams at the top of her lungs when my father tries to defend himself from her attacks. The very first memory I have of my mother beating my father dates back to 2013, when I was in 2nd class(8 year old).

Your father is lying on the bed, trying to hold the hands of the mother firmly. Your mother standing with one leg at your father's stomach and the other on his neck, trying to choke him. What would you have done? I went in and pulled my mother. Yeah I had to be tough on her because it wasn't possible to pull her away with soft and loose grip.
