What's the worst fight you've had with a family member?

We all know that there is no such thing as a perfect family. Every family has this argument and that is just the way things go. So, I wonder, what is the worst fight you've had with a family member? Me, aside from my fistfights with my sisters during my childhood days, the worst fight I probably had was when my parents decided to sell our home. During that time I decided to stop schooling, run away and get a job. My parents were so pissed at me that they'd ignore me. Fight ended when I lost my job. But even until now, I do not like the idea of them selling our house. Sure they already have a place for us to move but that place isn't home and that place doesn't have the things that I love.

When I was in high school my dad got angry with me and pushed me down. He came down stairs in a rage and said "Im tired of you bringing drama up in this house!!!!" Then he pushed me down on a soft leather couch. I was so mad that I wanted to hut him but how can you hit somebody when you live in THEIR house? I don't talk to him anymore unless I absolutely have to. I still don't like him because of his short temper.

Oh yeah, I somehow know how you feel. My dad beat me up when I had an issue with my school before. He beat me til I fell to the ground then kicked me many times when I was down. I wanted revenge but I couldn't since I live in his house. And like you, I don't really talk much to my dad. He's a good guy but he's got a very very short temper.

I guess you'd end up fighting back if he didn't stop. Good thing it ended or you'd both be in prison or the morgue. o_o

My mom and I used to argue a lot about anything. She was very strict and had an iron hand. She used to hit me. But of course, I never retaliated out of respect, and later on I realized, out of fear. Between my brother and I, I am the achiever (or should I say, overachiever) that's why I never understood then why I was the only one whom my mom see faults all the time. I ran away a number of times, stopped going to school, almost got married. I became what I never imagined I would be just because I wanted to get away from my mom. Before I even graduated from college, I was able to land a decent, good-paying job and decided to be on my own after almost a year. That's when my mom and I began to drift apart again. She would demand that I give them money, pay for the bill, etc. I couldn't say no because she would remind me over and over how hard it was taking care of me, raising me up, sending me to school, etc. Anyway, of all the things to argue about, the worst for me would be about money. There was a time, for almost a year, I guess, when I cut any line of communication with them. I only got to know updates about my family through my brother's account in a social networking site. Eventually, I secretly got in touch with my brother and sent my parents money through him (even until now, my parents have no idea that all those money came from me. They gave my brother all the credit, when they thought I abandoned them, but it's fine with me.)Then when I found out that they lost their jobs and my dad's sick, I went home. No apologies, but no drama either, which I thank God for. Now I continuously support them eventhough they've found a way to make both ends meet. But they, especially my mom, don't demand or dictate how much I should give them and they don't pressure me anymore.

Congratulations from getting away from the iron hand of your parent's. Some times parents hold us back for what they think is right and we have no choice but to get away from their rule to do the right thing. Anyways, glad things turned out right. :)

Well according to me this is the worst case if you ask me. I will never do this and even i have never done yet. The best thing for a person in a life is his family and we should not allow such things to involve in your family but small things can happen.

Hi, I would say so far I don't have any argument with my family members. I am glad that we have a close relationship with each other. Although I have been away from my home for more than 10 years,my relationship with my siblings and my parents are still good. We keep in touch always and I will pay them a visit once a year with my husband and my son. We will have a great day together during my holiday trip. I do hope, no argument with my family members in future.

The worst fight I've ever had with our family member? Actually, it was between me ang my oldest brother. It was the worst worst ever because it came to the point that he hit me...He tried to hurt me physically that time. Of course, i was under the influence of severe anger that time so I fight against him. Throw whatever my hands reached out. Yell every bad words that came to my mind..He also do the same. That time, I've lost my respect to him. I am thankful any way because that time my mom and grandma was there to stop us so the fightings was not came to the point that we did the worstiest thing that we could do that time. But I reserved that now as my experienced that taught a lesson that could never be forgotten. I look to it as part of growing up and finding ourselves. It's last for almost 7 years before we, actually, I talked to him with the respect that an oldest brother must have. As of now, we are OK. We're just like before...before the fights happened. But we're not that close anymore since my mom and our other siblings transfer to another place and he left in our old town with his girlfriend. I visited our old town often and that was the only chance that we could meet. Or if he visited us in our new house.
