I am pretty sure she is having an MLC. What now?

So today (Easter Sunday) is also my parent's 40th anniversary. I called to wish them a Happy Easter and Anniversary and they were too concerned about me to talk about themselves.

They have had some rocky times and I remember thinking "They are going to divorce someday. Mom can only take so much." Then something weird happened.

When I stopped associating with them my Mother had a real hard time. I tried to patch things up, but my W and my family could not get along. I chose to take sides with my W. This pushed my Mom into a deep depression. My Dad, who formerly was an angry and stubborn man, became sensitive and helped my Mom through one of the toughest times in her life.

They both told me today they know I am a good person and are surprised by our separation. I acknowledged to them that I will have a loving relationship again, with current W or someone else. Just saying it makes me think I am starting to detach...
