How do you make two people make up after a fight you caused?

Last night my family was in the car, late, driving in bad weather. I ended up fighting with my dad about something stupid. He said a lot of swears and made me cry. I AM an adult, but I'm not used to being spoken to like that. Anyway, me and my dad hugged, apologized and made up before the drive was over, but my mom is still really mad at my dad even now- or he's mad at her. My mom was trying to support me and stuff during our argument, so I guess he felt ganged up on, or she is mad he made me cry. Anyway, I found out this morning that he went to bed last night after she was asleep, and left for work before she woke up, so they still haven't made up, even though I told my mom not to go to sleep angry... I guess this is one of those rare instances where a child actually IS at fault for making her parents fight. I feel really bad and guilty about it. It's not even like you can say I am only a child and couldn't help it. I wonder if there is anything I can do to help make things right...

doesn't seem to be your fault.
if they are fighting for whatever the reason - those their issues.
sometimes parents don't know the reason why they fight.
maybe they don't love each other anymore.
so the child doesn't want to admit that and thinks that he is guilty.
but you are not ))
this feeling of guilt can destroy your life, so be carefull

It wasn't your fault that your dad acted that way. It isn't your fault that your mom can't forgive your dad the way you have. You absolutely have no blame here.

If this is a pattern of behavior for your dad, then there are probably deeper issues than you can deal with. Plead with them to seek counseling, be persistant. If they do, things should work out fine. If not, they should still feel guilty enough about causing you to suggest such a thing that they deal with the current issue at hand. That should be good for a little while at least.

I can't see how this is your fault, or what you can do to make things better. I think this is between your parents, and they need to sort it out themselves.
