Ode to Divorce
I found out today that my father asked for a divorce. Will he go through with it? I don't know. I don't know if this is one of his little ploys. Whatever it is, mom's called his bluff. She said if he wants it, he can have it.
Mom and I talked. She said it's been a long time coming. She's sick of the way he's treated her, me, the kids. She's sure he was waiting for anything to happen so he could pin the blame there. I said that he was just like my ex. She nodded. I knew then that she never left because she had nowhere to go. She saw herself in me. I got away. Ran to her. She needs me now.
Whatever happens, we know that we'll take care of each other. Just like we always have.

2 Things You Say:
Sorry you all have to deal with this. At least your mum has you for support, no one wants or should have to live in a toxic relationship.
take care.
Michelle- Thanks. The only time mom seems tense is when he's around. But then, everyone's a bit tense when he's around. We're mostly worried about the kids. I don't want them thinking that all men get nasty and leave their families. That seems to be the running theme for them, unfortunately.
