I found out from my sister that my mom is miserable, possibly depressed about being married to my dad. They have been married for 45 years. My mom is 65 and my dad is 67! A 65 year old WAW?!?!?!
I could tell something was slightly off when me and the kids met them in Colorado in July. I thought maybe it was that they suspected something about my situation. I haven't told them anything about it at all. I was in denial.
My dad can be a complete jack*$$, that is for sure. At times I have certainly wondered how my mom has put up with him all these years. Although my mom has never discussed it with me, my sis says that my mom confessed that there was a time that she was considering leaving him and us (my sister and I). My dad was borderline physically abusive to my sister and I, but I don't remember him ever hitting my mom. My dad was totally emotionally abusive to my sister, myself and my mom. I can remember wishing that they would divorce. But that was all interspersed with some awesome family times too.
I was at work when I spoke to my sister about it today and I have very thin walls so I told her I'd talk to her tonight and she still hasn't called me back. It makes me incredibly sad, the word "divorce" was used.
I need to find out more, but I want to be in denial about it becasue I am already dealing with my own issues.
And how can I possibly lay my own issues on my mom (and/or dad)when she is feeling this way?
