So, this has been an interesting night. I honestly don't know what to think about tonight. Before I get into the story, I should probably explain a few things. My parents have been married for about 27 years now, and for the last 10 or so years they haven't been happy years. They have talked about divorce since I was about 8, but nothing has ever come of it, and everyone has just stayed here. Recently, my mom has just admitted to me that she is no longer in love with my father, and the main reason why she stays other than me, is simply because she can't afford to leave. I've always known that my parents have had problems, but still it's just not something you really want to hear. Well, my aunt owns a restaurant that my mom and I go to almost every night. There's a man there that I've known for a while now, and I was pretty fond of him, he was a good guy and everything, so I had no problem with him. Lately, my mom has expressed interest in him, but I didn't really think anything about it, because my mom will joke around about many of the men up there, and what not. So now my mom came clean with me tonight and told me that her and the man have been talking for 18 months now. It wasn't anything really shocking, because with the things that I've heard in the last few months concerning all aspects of my family, nothing really surprises me anymore. The thing though, is that the man is apparently very jealous of her sitting with other men, and he will sit out in the parking lot and watch her. She's also changing a lot. My mom has always been a friendly, outgoing person, and now she's not so much, and she knows this. She knows she's changing because of him. She was asking me for advice tonight, and I just told her, you know, I don't know what you want me to say. I'm only 18, I can't give a 48 year old woman advice on what to do. I barely know what to do to make through each day with my problems, much less my problems and her problems. I dunno, I just had to let that out. Take care everyone. Peace.
