I believe in marriage for life. You should be so sure, it's stressful. I was always under the impression that my parents got along well and were fine. But since my mom started school, they fight more and more. They had a really bad fight over the summer, and it freaked me out. It was so bizarre to see a union that had seemed perfectly fine (minus a few flaws, but who doesn't have them?) suddenly feel like it was falling apart.
My younger sister has become so paranoid and put off by it, she questioned my mom about it. My mom told my sister she was having trouble with my dad, and that things were not going so well....now my sister cries every time they fight.
I'm not sure who to blame. GAH.
I think both of them have issues they just need to let go of, and I believe that once my mom is out of school things will get better...but right now, I'm worried and concerned. My mom admits my father is still her best friend in the whole world, but he just gets on her nerves a lot.
I told my mom she needed to say something to my sister. She had no idea what my sister was going through. It's been better lately, I hope it stays that way.
just a random dabble into my personal life, how love can change from what it should be, or what it used to be.
In fact, i based a painting off of it. It had a flatline, and feathers from Eros (basically, the greek Cupid). The feathers started white, and slowly turned black by the end of the flatline. It was mostly conceptual, and you could interpret a lot from the piece, but that's where it came from; I didn't want to say it out loud.
Great post. That can't be easy. Makes me think about my kids when my wife and I argue.
