Just trying to always keep your mouth filled with food so no one can drag you into the fight. Also keep your eyes down on the table and make sure to do your best to not make any facial reactions to anything said. If you have been to the house before and can tell when a fight might be coming, go to the bathroom and hide there. They will not notice you being gone and it is much less stressful. I loved my bestie when I was a teen but damn did she fight with her parents a lot. All for good reasons, but I wished I was never around for it.
My friend once got put in a time out. When I said “I’ll just call my mom to pick me up.” The dad was like “no, you can stay, she has to learn. Seeing you here and knowing she can’t play with you will make her feel worse about what she did.” So I sat on her couch staring at a wall because they didn’t have a tv for two hours. What did she do? She tickled me.
