when the child turns into the parent

I was supposed to hang out with Pat this afternoon, after class. It didn't happen.

My dad called me and told me that it hasn't been getting any better with his wife (evil step-mom) and that they have decided to do a trial separation. I'm not quite sure how I feel.

I hate her. She's manipulative, controlling, arrogant and has the maturity of a 13 year old. I do, however, want my dad to be happy. Whatever happens.

So he's going to be living with me for a while. 5 days here, 5 days at his house so to see his daughter with his wife, Tess. Same for the evil step-mom, except there's no way she's getting anywhere near my place. No thanks. She'll probably stay with her parents.

He arrived about a half hour ago, and it's pretty awkward. I'm not quite sure what to say or do, except to keep feeding him Bombay tonics while I make supper.

I had wanted to spend more time with him before I left, but this isn't exactly what I had expected. I hope he'll be okay.

  1. That whole situation sucks.. but i think the best thing you can do is be there for him like you are. You can enjoy eachother's company and also help him clear his mind a little too.

    Even though it's a bad scenario at least you get to spend lots of time with him before you go!

  2. Yeah, I'm basically acting like normal, but making myself more available to him time-wise.
