So my parents might get a divorce - Vent

KamiSuzanne

I don't even know how to start dealing with this. They have been married for almost 30 years and yesterday I talked to my mom, she is in AZ visiting her mom and has been there for the last month, and she said that her and dad had a long talk the night before.  I talked to my brother last night and we were trying to figure out what was going. She called again today and told me that she was going home and they were going to try to work it out. They have never been the typical couple, I think they enjoy being away from each other more than they like being together, my bro. and I were their lives and now that we have moved and gotten married they don't really do anything together any more. Mom likes to travel and be in warm places with lots of people and dad is the exact opposite. I want to be able to help them, but I have no idea what to do and they don't want to 'bother' us with their problems. This is something that I had always thought might happen, but now that it is, I don't know what to do.

Sorry vent over

I am so sorry.  I have always wondered how adults handle situations like this.  My parents divorced when I was very young and both re-married so it seems like it would be so much harder later in life...  Just try and stay neutral for both of them and I guess stay out of it as much as you can.  That way you an maintain a relationship with both of them, if you would like to.  I wish you the best!
