These days...I'd almost recommend packing some heat. I'll leave that up to you. Dad may try to do something fateful. One never can tell.
i was 17 when my parents got divorced. but i'm talking using us to make my mom not leave kind of deal. not in the actual divorce proceedings.
By the way, I do think your dad should confront her.....I mean it may be hard at first but at least he gets some closure and can move on in his life. I can't believe she is not helping pay the bills so sad. DD
Best of luck to you. If your father is an angry drunk, perhaps your mom is staying out to escape his wrath. So many things it could be, if there is a large amount of unexplained money missing then gambling is a strong possibility. I am very concerned about consequences of following your mom, you might make things worse. If your father is unable or unwilling to confront her despite being on the nasty side when he drinks then your stirring up things might make matters worse.
So she has a thing for poor latinos that live in the bad part of towns with broken xbox 360's? I keed I keed
this kid worrying about his mom cheating after working late nights when her office closes early afternoon is an inference. carlos nice being an ass and thinking the kid's just a deadbeat unemployed teenager based on a couple internet posts is making an assumption.
That's what really upsets me. My Dad already has difficulties paying as it is, and I assumed my Mom is helping him when she got this job, but isn't. Yeah that's what I'm afraid of. It hasn't resulted in anything yet except maybe a few shouting arguments and most of the time they just ignore each other and avoid being in the same room. But still, he can get very reckless when he drinks. I'm going to talk to my friends tomorrow about this. Apparently my relatives already knew about the strained relationship for quite some time. I'll try to keep you guys updated. And sorry no pics.
Think about this long and hard DO YOU *REALLY* WANT TO KNOW?? Rocket River . . . don't ask question . . that may have answers you cannot handle
I think it is time that you worry about you. You believe your mom is cheating. At the least, she is not being completely forthright about where whereabouts. Your dad drinks, and is a mean drunk. Your parents have a lot of issues. You can make none of these better, and may make it worse by trying. You may be better able to help after you get yourself situated. Sometimes a little distance helps attack this more objectively.
This is a serious, potentially traumatic issue for any kid. It's not something people should joke about.
That's a tough one. If you do follow her, be prepared to possibly see something that you would have rather not known about. That really sucks, but you never know... Carlos-stop being an ass
My mom had an affair. My dad was an alcoholic. It was a messy marriage that I never knew about because they managed to hide it all from me. Thing is, it was THEIR relationship, NOT mine. Your parents are adults. They have a relationship that had nothing to do with you before you were born and parts of it have nothing to do with you now. It is none of your business what they are doing. They need to work this out themselves. If you get involved, it will only make things worse. I mean, what are you going to do if you catch your mom with another man? Trust me when I say this: there are things about your parents you will NEVER know. They have parts of their relationship that are NONE of your business. You are not a marriage counselor. You are their child. Even if you are angry with your mom, there is every possibility that her behavior (assuming she is having an affair) is predicated on a part of your parent's relationship you know nothing about. Going down this path and trying to meddle in their marriage will only lead to problems. Let your parents handle their issues and you take care of yours.
Yeah but there is a level of trust between the family and when your Mom cheats and lies to your Dad and breaks that trust (or vice versa) it kinda messes with your head and messes up your whole adolescent idea of marriage, relationships, etc. You just become a little more unsure of yourself in the real world. But I would go with Jeff's advice, stay out of it and do what 19 year olds do, have fun and get drunk with friends. Just keep an eye out on the Dad cause he might go postal one day.
