So I just got home from my GF's house about an hour ago to find dad home alone, mum out of the house somewhere. They'd obviously had an argument.
She comes home not long ago and says to me "Buy yourself a car, I'm taking mine tomorrow, finding a job and moving out. Dad and I are divorcing."
She then throws all dad's shit out of their bedroom and closes the door, packing her bags.
Fuck
So SE++, tell me about your parents and their amazing shenanigans.

No. Mum and Dad have been great together for the last 21 years. The odd argument, but hey, don't we all have 'em.
Steam
maybe now's his chance
Not because he's a special agent for the FBI working deep undercover, but because he's really just not worth talking to or keeping track of.
Maybe I'll get a call if he turns up dead, maybe not.
Yeah it does.
Then again my parents have been great to me since forever, and at least I know my parents, unlike some people, so I guess I can't complain. Am just a little shell-shocked.
Teefs' SATs burnt out the reading portion of her brain.
It's sudden, but they've been having a few more intense arguments lately, and the "d" word was flung around a bit, but to no effect usually.
But it's different this time, it really feels fucked up.
I'm sure they'll talk this over when emotions cool over a bit tomorrow, but it doesn't look like it will go back to "happy family" again this time.
Ditto.
I thought my parent's were going to get divorced for a long time, but then my dad found jeebus so that was no longer an option. The funny thing is the whole god thing didn't make my dad less of a dick, just a different kind of dick.
young enough that it was unclear to me exactly what was wrong
only that bad things were happening
in fact I remember what I thought of my dad at the time
he was home so rarely that I thought of him as a stranger
I didn't fully understand his role for a few years
Yeah, fo' sho'. I couldn't really get much out of my dad this evening when mum was out, apart from some "I'm a bad husband" and "sorry for everything".
Fuck you know how awkward it is having your old man in your arms apologising and crying because he thinks he's fucked up my life big time or something?

Ah this has been breakin' my balls for ages.
I've been meaning to buy a car soon, but now it's kinda been thrust upon me.
Dad's offered to pay for half of whatever we buy, within reason obviously.
I dunno, on one hand I want something rad, but I don't wanna waste too much of my savings on a car, so I gotta be realistic. Goddammit being a responsible adult sucks.
my dad and I have hugged exactly one time
and that was immediately before I shipped off to bootcamp
they also always had different opinions on how to raise us, that whats ultimately led them to divorce
they are still awesome parents, they hate each other but they are still awesome to us
Your dad sounds way easier to talk to than my dad.
My dad would never cry after an argument, or admit fault, or stop yelling.
Basically the fact that your dad sounds remorseful and sad make him awesome to me.
I'd hang out with him even if he wasn't my dad
My dad is probably the most open and kind-hearted man I know. I'd be in a fucking daze if he were to suddenly vanish from my life. Not that he will.
Man I probably would seriously have been like "fuck it, we're done now." I don't need that bullshit. This might stem from my apparent lack of need (not interest, but need) to be connected to my family.
And that's all I have to say about that.
Yeah that's pretty much what happened, but I didn't really vocalize it. Something like that hasn't happened again, but he's got a long way to go if he wants me to start looking at him as a father again. He's making progress though, just a little bit
My father and I never got along, to describe it. It's the razor's edge of love and hate.
Over the years I have learned my father was messing around with a woman he worked with among other things
So one weekend in August I was told to pack my stuff I was to live with my grandfather in Cheyenne. A few months later my Mother and two brother move up and tell me what had gone on for the last 7 or so weeks and she is getting a divorce.
It was kind of odd and akward to see him and talk to him at my mother's funeral last summer
And, to Brainleech, you've got my sympathy. I honestly don't know if I could handle losing my mom.
