..."Oh the parents are sooooo immature!" <br /><br />Like being a parent means you stop being human. How many many many many times are we going to hear stories like this before we accept that this is a part of being a human being who is hijacked by bad emotions? We can fix it without finger-pointing and holy-art-thou-ness. Andrea et. al. are just as immature by trying VERY HARD to place Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26063103.post-80832818740048512492009-12-08T20:50:42.503-08:002009-12-08T20:50:42.503-08:00Amen, ewe!

Yes, both. <br /><br />Her father is being an *ss and playing games. If her mother <i>truly</i> wants a divorce, she'd have moved out long ago and found a way to make it work. Instead, she's playing games, too.<br /><br />I wish the poster and her older brother much luck ... as the ewe are herehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13339650361453626546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26063103.post-62824605603479075572009-12-07T19:58:32.113-08:002009-12-07T19:58:32.113-08:00Andrea, read it again!

It's just that a divorce requires one of them to move out first (for the separation), and neither of them is willing to do so. What a mess.<br /><br />Original poster, you are amazing.

Your stepdad didn't change overnight... he had all these characteristics before your mom married him & she probably refused to look them square in the eye because she was "in love".<br /><br />A woman expects to stay married to a guy and not have sex with him?

There has got to be a way for her to get him out of the house rather than leaving herself, especially where there is a minor with health issues involved.

That will change but it is soooo good for you to recognize your brothers needs right now.
