My parents divorced earlier this year after nearly thirty years of marriage. I've found this really hard to deal with, especially since they're both still being so bitter towards each other. I feel as if myself and my younger sister are constantly being put in the middle. They have both found new partners, but my dads new girlfriend keeps trying to come between him and us. (he is quite wealthy and she keeps telling him that we're only after him for his money, but I have never expected anything from my parents.)
I found out last week that my mother was diagnosed with cancer in January, and this was the driving force behind her wanting a divorce. Her treatment is failing and has now been told that she has 6-9 months to live, but she hasn't old her new partner (who is a really lovely man) and as well as trying to come to terms with my own emotions I feel so sad for him.
I'm in the middle of my PGCE, my dc are 28 and 8 months, and I'm beginning to think that I just can't cope anymore. Things with dh are tense and I've spent the last 2 hours crying. Sorry for the long post but needed to get it all off my chest, don't think I can take anything else going wrong
