Divorce

[beandelphiki]

My parents are getting a divorce.

My dad just told me and my sister. Nicole is taking it kinda hard; she went up to her room. Maybe she's crying, I dunno.

I can't say I'm surprised. I've seen this coming. I called it years ago. I figured dad was just sticking around for our welfare; I wrote as much in my journal two years ago.

Nicole is more shocked than me; she kept reminding us that MOM said they wouldn't get a divorce.

I asked my dad about finances, and he said he believes he can live somewhere else and keep us stable. So that should be okay. He said he stuck around so long for us, but that he doesn't love mom anymore.

And he hasn't had an affair, whatever mom thinks.

I want to ask him what's going to happen to our internet accounts, and when he's going to turn Parent access over to mom on the Norton Parental Internet Security thing, but I think now is too delicate a time.

I told him I love him, and that's it okay....

...for once in my life I meant it.

Is there any possibility of you (and your sister?) living with him? I don't know much about your family/home life, so I'm not sure if that would happen.

Best wishes.

Aw.. well, at least it didn't come as too much of a shock to you. Help out your sister though, she'll need it, it sounds like. .

Oh wow. I'm so sorry to hear this, Daniel, but in the long run it will probably make things better for all concerned.

Be strong.

I wish I knew what else to say.

*hugs*?

I'm so sorry. I hope you're doing okay.
If there's anything I can do to help... just name it.

*wishing I could do something*

*big long hug*

It's your annoying little brat of a sister. I know you prolly don't want me reading your journal, but I wanted to see what you had to say about this.

Dammit, pressed enter. Sorry about that.

Mom told me that they BOTH didn't believe in divorce. Apparently he told mom that as well. He hasn't exactly been the best dad ever, like he said. And I'm more pissed at him than sad.
