Father worries
As far as the earlier post-they just hugged...kind of a relief but there still is the wine date tomorrow. ;( Another worry of mine has been my dad...he is having a really hard time...like me, he is in an unhappy marriage. They stay together because neither of them want to bite the bullet and leave. It's such a hassle to leave-to pack-to figure out who gets what and where to go. You know...so they stay and they are both miserable. What a sad way to live...30+ years of marriage with the last few...unhappy. They should cut their ties...I am so worried he is going to have a heart attack. It's not fair to either of them. I love them both and now that I am older and I see the world in not so black and white I feel their pain and understand it. My dad has always been a funny outgoing charismatic man. A workaholic...never having less then 3 jobs always. He recently purchased a big business-took out 80,000+ to buy this. It was very successful. Then after having this for close to 2 months he receives word this big company that basically supported his business has decided to sell out. Now he has all these vending machines to move out. We are talking about a place that made him $14,000 in a month. He took money out of his retirement and now he has this stock that he is stuck with. I told him I would try to help him sell them and get some of his money back-but he won't be able to get that much money. I feel so bad for him. Something he was excited about...ripped away and financially has strapped him. I saw him Sunday...he looks worn...he's grumpy (due to his marriage-she can't do anything right it seems) he's moody and he's tired. Tired of so many things-his marriage issues are killing him-he's overworked-he's not happy doing what he's doing and he's craving attention. At the same time he's getting pissy and grumpy and pushing people away. Not that he would admit or realize that. I love my dad and I hate to see that he's losing his light-his glow and sparkle in his eyes.
