Abstract	Persistent conflict between parents is a significant yet often overlooked factor that affects the mental and emotional stability of individuals of family system. This study examines how ongoing parental conflict affect mental health of the parents involved and shape broader family relationships. Findings suggests that constant conflict increases stress, anxiety, depressive symptoms, and emotional burnout in parents, ultimately impairing their ability to communicate, co-parent effectively, and maintain nurturing connections with their children. Furthermore, these conflicts can destabilize the family environment, reduce trust and cooperation, and contribute to cycle of tension that affects every member of the household. Understanding the psychological consequences of parental conflict is essential for developing interventions that promote healthier family dynamics and prevent long-term relational harm.
