In the last months my parents had a lot of disputes about every argument possible. Every time that they discuss i try to escape going to do jogging, also if it's 10pm and i risk something bad while i'm running. The worse thing is that in any case i'm the "lightning rod" of everything. For Example: When they're angry and i should ask them some money to go out with a friend my dad say "I've not, don't drive me crazy" and i go out without money, often saying to my friends that i don't take anything becouse i'm not feeling good, or sometimes i'm constricted to have dinner alone 'couse they don't want to eat, or they reprove me for stupid things, or even more they don't want to give me the liberty to eat something light 'couse i'm trying to lose weight...Is it right?!What should i do to prevent that?!

I'm sorry i can't offer you any advice.
As i don't enjoy making suggestions when i'm not 100% sure. I think your first response is right, i also think your second response means well. opps thats me =) hehe.
I really want to say. hey! goodluck with what you choose. i personally would get away because it isn't good for you to be in this or in the middle of it.
Kudos!

i see that you are 22, right??
they most logical idea is to move out as soon as possible so you won't be in the middle of anything. if they want to fight, then they fight, but you shouldn't be put in the middle just because you're there. find a place, move in with a friend or girlfriend. get several jobs to get your own money.
also, don't take anything they say to heart. explain to your friends whats going on in your family, i'm sure they'll be sympathetic. you should never lie to your friends anyway, it breaks the trust. especially if its about family troubles. if they're true friends they would want to help out.
but the best thing to do to keep from getting nagged at about everything is to not be around them as much as possible.
