I took my dads place in a party last night of my parents close friends. My dad refused to go and me and mum spent the night lying through our teeth saying dad was feeling ill. Only he wasn't. So i asked mum why he hadn't come, took me a while but she eventualy said he's being a bit cold recently. I noticed that cause he snapped at me last night when i tried to get something to eat and he's just being moody all the time. He's spending all his time at work or on the computer not talking to us. Its so unlike him cause usually he's really cheerful. I dunno if my parents are going through another funny time or not (they sort of split up last year) but i'm just worried. It's right before christmas and i dunno whats happening with my family. I know it could be anything but my dads the sort of person who hardly lets anything get to him, he's really optimistic, so does anyone have any ideas what it could be? I get the feeling mum knows but doesn't want to tell me. Like she wouldn't tell me 'the thing that he did' last year which caused them to almost split up.
I'm just really confused

You need to decide, IF something is going on, do you really want to know about it? If so, I suggest you sit down with your mum and tell her how you feel confused and insecure and ask her to tell you the truth. She doesn't have to go into detail, like telling you what "the thing he did" was, but perhaps just to outline the situation, or at least the bits that affect you. Bear in mind that she just might not, in which case there's not an awful lot you can do about it, and also that she might and it might not be pretty. She might not know what's going on herself, or it might really be nothing for you to worry about.
So i think they're splitting up
My folks have split up not so long ago so i understand what your feeling like at the moment!
Im 21 and even as you get older it isn't easy to deal with and not get upset over. But talk with your folks and find out what is really going on, no matter what happens with them you must talk to someone about what is happening that way you don't feel you have to cope on your own.
My BF was a big help some days i just needed a cuddle and a shoulder to cry on and he was fab. Make sure you talk with someone about whats going on!!
And things do get easier chick x
