This is Mr. Tibbs but I am using a false name because this question is kinda personal and I want to keep my false image of strength.
My parents have filed for divorce. It’s a long train wreck so I knew it was coming but it is still wierd to know it’s happening. How does a grown up deal with this? As an adult what do I do?
I think they are both to blame but as of late my Dad is the one who I think pushed the rock over the edge. I used to worship him. To me he was greatness. After my breakdown I saw I was now down to his level and all the things I ignored have been coming racing back to me. He has went from idol to cowardly loser in a very short time. It’s just really fucking hard to deal with. Anyone else run ont this later in life?
What really sucks now is that with my wife asleep and friends not around I have to ponder this alone. I tried to turn to my Beach Boys but my Dad is the one who raised me with them. He is the one who tought me the genuis of them and now when I hear them I just think of all the bitterness I hold against him.
I think this will pass but your never out from under your parents I guess.
