So, my parents are going to split up. Not too soon, but not far enough. They've done this to me twice before, but this time is going to be for good, according to my dad. Here's a bit about the duo,
DAD:-smart
-moving ahead quickly in his job; going higher in the corporation
-best person to talk to
MOM:-whiny
-lazy
-works hard as a nurse; spinning her tires though

I was just talking to dad about all of this. He's beginning a new position at work, which will require more time away and a lot of frustration. My mom never takes his jobs well, which would account for the terror in our household within' the next few weeks. My dad said he knows they're splitting, because the warning signs are there, so be prepared. I CAN'T TAKE IT AGAIN. Don't they realize what they do to me? He's already said the only thing keeping him here is me. Also, if he does leave, mom already said she's willing to go with another girl. I can't handle it, I just can't. I don't want it to happen, because just a while ago a new town and a happy family were in view. Now, I'm not sure, but I might end up self harming again... this is too much. Have any of you guys had parents to just randomly split over a job that should have been CELEBRATED?

My parents spilt up when I was 10, which was 4 years ago. I was in the same situation, my dad was smart, my mom was a complainer. It was hard on me, but I learned that I had to go forward in life anyway. I eventually got over it. Please don't self harm, that is not safe.

I know it's not, it's kinda just an old habit...
But thanks for the reassurance. :)
