parents cont

Well I thought my mom was unaware. Today we went to mass and in one of the reading it spoke of couples and their marriage. How the man leaves his house to join a woman to become one. He is suppose to love her unconditionally and he is suppose to be submissive to him... Well we all know these were written when women had no choice. But anyways, it was a really nice reading which I wished both my parents would have been there. Oh well, right! Well I guess my mom have not been speaking for a few days. He is talking to her and she is not trying as she usually does. When they did the church announcements they announced a "matrimonial retreat" and she was telling my aunt that she wants to go and if after they go together and it still does  not work then I guess they will go their separate ways. I think they really need to work on things together. Right now all they see is each personal issue they have which I am not aware of and that is consuming them, hindsight leaves you blind at the moment. But if they go through with this upcoming event they are preparing for they will look back and start thinking of the things they could have done better. Both my parents hold too much pride... too much...  even if they recognize their mistakes it will be too late... They are so stubborn sometimes I just refuse to talk to both because they are not willing to compromise yet... I don't know how to make it seem as though they have a lot to loose which they do... if my dad leaves as he wants even his family will be affected because he is such a closed person... he doesnt visit his fam too much... I would be very stared and I have a feeling to would consume his body with alcohol leading to unhealthy alcohol levels. Up to now he some what controls himself because he hides it and pretends as thoughhe isnt drinking too much but when he is lonely and depressed... Not a good turn out... I know he wants freedom and he wants a little out but for him he needs a type of control...
