1. I know my parent’s relationship is really none of my business and if they we’re having issues and decided to go to counselling for their issues and then broke up that’s fair enough. But cheating on my mother, telling her and us a bunch of lies. Insulting my Mother by going behind her back. I’m angry about that, he could have gone about it all in a different not as destructive way.
2. He has actually been to some therapy. Shouldn’t we try to address some of the issues that we all have. I’ve been to therapy for my issues and the injuries I’ve taken from my breakup and his recent injuries. What happened i’m fairly sure is from him not dealing with things the right way stuff that just sits bottled up until it erupts. It kind of stands to reason that he should see a professional to learn how to deal with things like a normal person. Or should we just keep going along like it always has and then the next thing happens.
3. I know he worked a lot for us. Does that become a good reason to hurt your own family? I’m not sure what amount of pain equals the amount of work. 30 years equals the right to cheat on your wife and lie to your family. Does he still have some stuff saved up. What if they stayed together and he felt like he had accrued enough years to be validated in hitting my Mum. I personally would have just preferred they never had me if there was always going to be a price to be paid. I’m going to be the one supporting them in retirement anyway so I guess that’s the payment.
