Well, the title says it all... My week was hell. Why?
Monday I got a phonecall from my mother. She asked if Me and my girlfriend would come over on thursday evening. She called my sister too. My parents had something 'serious' to tell, and it couldn't be told over the phone. If you'd know my parents, you'd know that this is really strange behaviour, so I immediately knew something was very very wrong. And I had 4 days left to think about all nasty things that could be happening...
Yesterday evening, my mother told us that she wants to divorce my father, after more than 35 years of marriage. It was like being hit in the gut with a sledgehammer, of all the ugly scenarios we thought up and sort of prepared us for, we didn't see this one coming. As it seemed their relationship had only become stronger over the last few years.
My parents were alwas rolemodels to me when it comes to relationships. The fact that they are both such completely different people, but always could make things work out for the best, truly made them the schoolbook example of the 'for better of worse' vows. That image is now shattered to a million pieces.
I just needed to get this off my chest, I just don't know what to say anymore now... So I'll just shut up and try to process all of this. Thanks for listening (or reading actually)
