Have a new problem.
My family has always been a happy family. We went on fun holidays, we spent time together, had fun together, and we were all very close. At Christmas, however, my dad sent a message to a woman which my mum perceived as being flirtatious. My dad denied eveything, they split for a few adys, but they forgave each other in the end.
Unfortunately my mum never really got over it, and is always paranoid about everything my dad is doing. My dad, obviously, doesn't want to be controlled. Its not only that, it goes in a circle. my mum acts bad to him, he answers back, and it escalates. Its got to the stage when my dad comes in from work she barely even acknowledges him.
So a few days ago they sat down and discussed it. My dad left for a few days, thought it rhough, and came back. they tried to discuss how to fix their problems. however, the next day, my sister heard my dad on his phone. she thought it was odd, so she stood at the bottom of the stairs to listen to what he was saying. he thought he was talking to another woman, and she rushed upstairs to confront him. my dad panicked and deleted the call log, which made my sister even more suspicious.
Turns out it wasn't a woman. It was one of his good friends, who he had asked if he knew of anyone who was selling a house. my dad was still planning to move out, which we didn't know. My mum was very angry at him, and told him to just go.
So they havent talked since (it was yesterday)and my mum and sister have been pretty upset. So have I, but i feel sorry for my dad. My mum has a big family, who she is close to. My dads father dioed young, and so did his brother, and he isnt very close to his mother or sister. All he really had was me my mum and my sister. I hate to imagine how lonely he is, he was in tears yesterday before he left. My mum told me that "hes just messing with my head", but hes my dad and i love him, and i hate seeing him like this.
