My parents act like children and i've already lost a great deal of my childhood because of them

I’m 16 years of age. My parents agrue alot, several times the cops have been involve and a social worker. What happens is they argue mostly about stupid little things, and then it escalates from there. My dad, is a paranoid drunk who thinks my mom is cheating on him and only talks about that issue when he’s drunk… he slams furnitures, shout etc… and he thinks that’s ‘communicating”. My mom is so condescending when she talks to my dad… she claims that she doesn’t want to argue but she talks bad about my dad every single day… she literally talks him down and shots down any of my dads attempt to make the family ok again. It’s amazing how she wants peace and yet she acts like that. Anyway, my childhood… I feel like i’vw never had one.. i’m always worried about my parents cuz they act like children all the time.. I had to mature much more early than my friends and i m growing full of hatred because of that… I hate my parents for acting like kids when I can’t even act my age..I hate society because somehow I feel a void inside me that will probably never be filled. I hate my life.. myself and what i’ve become… i’ve become a monster.. the way I see myself now, I can never call myself a person..knowing how I grew up.. what should I do?

other people have had it far far worse then you…. my dad use to do the same get superrrrrrrrr drunk then he would try to drive n i would be so worryed n hes got in fights to n he would always make my brother cry… like you cant hate yourself for that try to look at what you have like others do have it worse… maybe try to sit down with either your dad when hes sober or your mom who ever your closer to n talk to them tell them how it makes you feel… but im sorry about that i have been threw similar i hate when people drink now like i just dont like how it makes people act… but it seems like your parents are better off apart…… or if they like went to counciling or just separated for a bit… but hey you can get a job and save money up n get a car n your license or you can stay at a friends house to try to get away
