It's official and now I am depressed.

A little over a month ago my mom told me that her and my dad were going to split up. They were married for over 32 years. I never saw it coming. I don't know if they just grew apart or what. My mom recently lost a lot of weight and looks like she did in high school. Don't know if that has to do with it either. Today she told me that she got an apartment and she moved in today. Now that she moved I guess it is official and now I feel sad. I never thought they would split up. Sorry for rambling...

Thanks girls for the hugs. I went to my mom's new apartment last night and it was just weird. Bad thing is my mom doesn't act a bit sad about it. You can tell it in my dad's voice that he is. My dad wanted to go to counseling but mom has the attitude that counseling would not work. Well it won't work if you have that kind of attitude and I told her that. Mom is 50 and finally has her first job out of the house. Bruce and I keep saying how we hope they are the type that split up but eventually get back together. My mom was talking about how she wants to legal part hurried up and done. Because when that happens my dad is gonna pay alimony I guess. And she was saying she gets half of the value of the house and dad's rental property and stuff I guess. Seemed like she cared too much about money. Mom has always spent more than she should...in my opinion. Dad is never home cause he works so hard. Kinda feel sorry for him. Well I will shut up and let you get back to your wedding planning. Thanks again girls.

I'm sorry to hear about this :(. My parents split up 5 years ago. My mom also lost a lot of weight -- going from a size 16 to a size 6 in a year -- right before they split. I think it led to a new outlook on life.

She also seemed preocuppied with the money aspect of the situation -- which eventually led to us drifting apart. My dad, like yours, seemed to take it harder.

I hope things work out for all of you. These things happen. It's sad, but sometimes for the best. Hopefully we learn enough from our parents to avoid the same mistakes.
