I just can't believe it.
Aug. 3rd, 2005 04:59 pmMy Grandparents and my aunt and my cousin (who id going to Japan in two weeks) have been here since Saturday morning. My mother and I have been working like slaves catering to these lazy-asses, and my dad has been one of them. I took them to dinner at Spaghetti Warehouse, $130... my aunt flipped out because there was no smoking on the resturant. So, instead of her calmly stepping out to have a cig every now and then, she whined and gave nasty looks all through dinner. I paid for dinner, and she suddenly 'decided' her stomach wasn't feeling 'up to' being out the rest of the evening. So we went home, the night RUNIED. Then, my mom and I were sitting on the back porch, talking IN PRIVATE, and here she comes. Apparently, dad has been running his mouth abut mom, telling them all she's a control freak and he's ready to leave her if she doesn't 'get some help for it'. I get pissed off, but I hold it in (which is rare for me). She felt like it was her 'DUTY' to tell mom this since she knows what it's like to be without a husband (like I DON'T?) and she was just trying to 'save their marriage'. Mom, needless to say, was dumbfounded.
Well, dad dropped a bomb today. He handed my mom (in the garage, in private, thank everything holy) a manilla envelope. She opened it, and there were divorce papers in there. Dad told her that if she didn't shape up, he would sign them and it would be done. My dad has turned into such a lasy-assed, no good redneck that he'd make Larry the Cable Guy look like the pope. I swear, I almost punched him this morning. I wish my family had never come to visit.
I know this will probably be the last time my grandparents will be able to come, and I kept my temper because of that. I was taught to respect my elders, but this is just ridiculous. I have no respect for my father, and that's a shame because I was a daddy's girl when I was young. I miss THAT man. I find myself caring less and less for the one he's turned into lately.
And divorce? It stuns me. No one, NO ONE, no matter the age, will easily handle their parent's divorce. I'll be the one that will end up taking care of my mom...
Why do I feel like I just got another ton added to my shoulders?
