btw my parents havent remarried... my dad and his gf bought a house like... gosh, 10 years ago, they have been going out for like 12 years. They are both lawyers, though she is just a lowly county prosecutor that does DUI and other traffic infractions. She doesn't want kids and he doesn't want anymore, they just hob-knob and do the social BS that my mom hated.
My mom has had a couple boyfriends since, but never any that lasted that long. Kinda feel bad for her, but whatever, she is more driven by her education than any sort of romantic pursuits. I think I got my apathy for relationships from her. :p |

It sucks because alot of my friends are married and the lot of them hate it. Yesterday my buddy was on the phone while we were in the smoke pit then hangs up and is like, don't get married.
I have lost all interest to get married. It kind of sucks, or does it? I dunno.:conf: |

| My parents got divorced when I was 12 or 13, a year after that was propably the happiest time I had with the family living with my dad and with my sister and brother, then he got remarreid and declared that his new wife is the most important thing for him, and we come second. Cool ehh? |

Assuming this is still about your parents and not something else:
I'm sorry to hear that. My parents got divorced 6-7 years ago. I was 17 (and a little hungover) when my mom told me they're not doing well, and might get a divorce. I almost threw up when she told me, it felt so bad. They were married for 20-25 years, don't know exactly.
What made it easier for me was that my mom moved only about 1 km away, because my little brother was only 6 at the time. Otherwise my dad would have moved ~50 km away, closer to his office. Still, I got a little depressed and didn't care about much. It was the last year of school too, so my grades dropped. Not good.
But don't worry. It will take a while, but you'll get over it.
*kisses and hugs* |

Ouch Will, that sucks. Looks like you didn't know before that your dad left her for another woman, huh? When did you find out?

this is actually how i found out that my folks were splitting:
i was in Chicago visiting them after I had graduated college. we had my graduation party w/ both sides of the family and everything, and a i had a few nights left in town.
well, the night before i was supposed to drive back to Iowa to collect all the things i was bringing with me to Active Duty, my dad never came home.
So the morning after, i wake leave my mom (we shed a tear). and i called up my dad at work and said, "hey, i'm leaving to go start my career.....soo...bye?" and he says this weird sob story about how he got drunk at a work party and wouldn't be able to drive home.
so i drive back to Iowa - the next day, pack up all my ; pretty much get ready to leave and my mom sent me an email saying dad had left her; then my dad called me and said he was leaving.
So here we are: i just left my mom, my dad just left my mom, and i'm now living in Montgomery Alabama (first assignment/TDY before i moved to Shreveport).
I never really knew what was going on at home before all this, because i was at school out at Iowa State. my folks had a rough patch when i was in high school (to the point i almost ran away); but both said that things were good while i was at college.
then my mom had her surgery, never recovered, and apparently "in sickness and in health" didn't mean anything anymore to my dad. they were supposed to go to Ireland for their 25th wedding anniversary. that was cancelled because of my mom's surgery. i guess shortly afterwards, my dad started "losing the love" and found it in an employee at work.

my dad is now marrying this chick he's known for about 4 years now (keep in mind, my folks officially split 3 years ago...). my mom's still seeing a therapist for all this. she'll never remarry; and chances are she won't even ever date. her life is too complicated that she doesn't want to involve someone else. plus she's a hermit and everything scares her; so she barely goes outside.
you all want to know the kicker on top of all things?
if my mom doesn't get a sweet deal from the divorce (which, last i heard, she isn't); she won't be able to live at the ghetto piece of place she lives in now (the one my dad and her moved into and then he left like 7 months later); she doesn't have much family left in chicago and she can't work (Again because of chronic pain from surgery she didn't recover from -- it wasn't a botched surgery, so she can't sue the DR, its just her body scarred really bad internally), so guess where's she's moving? yeah, in with me.
awesome. |

Ok I'm totally gonna sound like a bitch here
but
suck it up. You know how many years your mom took care of you and let you live with her and whatnot - time for you to step up and do it too. She took care of you your whole life, now it's time for you to take care of her.
Don't worry, it's bonus points as far as girls are concerned. |
