My parents split up 20 years ago.
My dad didn’t behave well and was really quite shit to my mum and my sisters and I about it. Not physically abusive or anything, but just left mum for another woman.
Since then my relationship with my dad hasn’t been great, but we are on speaking terms and meet up a few times a year.
But my mum is a nightmare if she hears that I’m meeting up with him and has a massive rant about how bad he treated us etc....
If I meet him without mentioning it to her she goes on and on about it.
But honestly, I can’t be arsed hating him forever just because she can’t move on.
Again this weekend I am visiting her and popping to his for a cuppa on the way home. She went on a massive rant and I honestly felt like I was taking an anxiety attack listening to her.
I’m so angry with her just now and I’m actually worried i will end up arguing with her and falling out with her this weekend: I just cannot bear to listen to her go on about it anymore
