From personal experience, when I was a young child my mother and father used to yell at one another. From the time that I was three years old, I was subjected to their shouting, name calling, and profanity. By the time that I was six, I had developed a severe ulcer that was caused from that stress. Also, between the ages of three and six when all the yelling was occuring, I would cry non-stop and wish that I was dead. I can still remember their fights. I have to be honest and say that I went through most of that pain because I knew my mother was incredibly angry. I will be the first to admit that a child understands a lot of what is going on with their parents. They are at a very influential time in their lives. Whatever their parents say or do, their parents are major contributors to their children's thoughts and feelings. I'm sure that those children are being hurt by their parents yelling, and getting so emotionally involved.
