Title: Divorce
Post by: fearlessella on September 19, 2008, 11:04:38 PM
There has never been any major concerns with my parents.  The normal tifs now & then.  Lately, it gets worse & worse.  To the point my dad tried to lock us out tonight after my mom and I went to the movies.  I don't want to pick sides- my mom may be drawing a thin line, but my dad refuses to talk about anything.  I am the only one still at home & you guys probably saw my email about moving out.  I think I have to take my friends offer now.  I will have to make it work somehow.  I have to wait at least 3 months though to get into the house.  Tonight my dad told me to find a place for the dogs.  The house I am moving into is connected to a boarding kennel, so they can stay there if needed (at least I am almost positive).  Macy will lose it though I think if she has to stay there too long.  I am afraid of being locked out of the house again because my will rats be stuck inside without me.  They are frail older girls that could live another 6 months or a few days.  I don't know anymore.  Maybe this is my vent or cry out.  I am fine with the decision of divorce I just don't know how my parents will cope.  I fear for them separately.  Thank you guys for being an *ear*.

I'm sorry.  I just wanna slap your father.   There, I said it.  Sorry. 

 Hang in there.  Thank goodness for your friends.   

When I lock myself out of my house, I have a special window that I can wiggle a bit and get into.   Nothing too obvious and I sometimes dangle there ridiculously with my butt and legs out the window until I can wriggle in, but it does the trick.     Maybe you can rig up something similar.

I was thinking the same.  :/

No matter the problems he has with your mom, he shouldn't be including you in them.  He also shouldn't be stressing you over the dogs when you're in a stressful enough situation as it is.

I'm so sorry you need to go through this, but it will work out, one way or another  :heart: I have to say, locking you and your mom out is way to extreme, so I truly hope you can find a solution. Warm Wishes

This morning things were calmer.  They actually talked a little without too much comotion.  When I came out of my room finally my mom says my dad is apologizing, blah blah blah.  That upsets me even more because they made my whole weekend a wreck with all that they have been saying.  Who knows what will happen when I go home.

My heart goes out to you.  I too am a child of a divorce that was just *BAM* suddenly happening.  It really sucks if you can't see it coming. 

You said you may have to move?  Can't you stay in the house with whichever parent still lives there?

Whaaaaaa?  Is he divorcing YOU?  If not, why can't you stay?
I'm a parent; if my hubby and I were breaking up, it would not mean the KIDS needed to break up.  Neither of THEM would be locked out.

But we're civil folks.  I'm sorry for your upheaval.
