I'm still not ready to talk about my parents' divorce yet. The fact that I haven't mentioned it in my journal since Mom told me it was happening back in March is proof enough of that, I guess.

But I would like to vent that dealing with my parents' shit is not making my move to Atlanta or start of law school any easier. I have my own shit to deal

I'm really glad that you're feeling a little better. I hope the drive went well. You'll hopefully have fun in your new place, and meet new people, and such. And, get a little more distance between you and other people.

I also don't have any explanations for the ex-bff syndrome they're having. I think I'm starting to understand it on a gut level. They both used to give each other reassurance or support or ... understanding, and they can't do that for each other right now (due to stress, or lack of comprehension of the other's situation). Good to hear your mom isn't angry (the impression I had back in October had some angry-flavors in it, but, October was a long time ago).

I feel bad for your dad. I'm glad that your mom is taking her life in the direction she needs it to go, and getting out of a situation that always seemed to me like it was unreasonably hard on her. I'm not surprised that she's getting a divorce -- it always seemed like a matter of time. I still feel really bad for your dad. He's holding the practice together, and maintaining the house, while over him looms the risk of him losing both in court. And... I guess in a way, the stress of all this is causing him to lose his kids too (like tightly gripping to soap -- trying to pull them closer pushes them away).

Sorry. Thanks for putting up with my rambling. Purple quilted windmills house the dreams of laboratory mice.

Losing both in court? My mom wouldn't do that. She's letting him have both as far as I know. It's my dad who would try to do something like that. Man...... I could tell you some of the shit my mom threatening her with in the divorce, but it probably isn't appropriate to write it here.

but hey! I am replying to this in Atlanta! woo!
