say something about ... yourself!

My mom is having an affair. She told me last night that it's been going on for over a year. An affair with my doctor of 26 years. My dad has no idea and now the asshole doctor has broken it off with her and she's hysterical and saying she has nothing to live for and she wants to die, etc.

I seriously don't know how to feel. I know she and my dad's relationship isn't the best, there's 20 years difference so there is quite a gap as far as interests and priorities. But if she was so unhappy, get a divorce - don't fuck my doctor. I understand the unhappiness and the loneliness she's going through, but on the other hand I'm so insanely angry that I don't know what to do. I never thought anything like this could happen to my family.

In between all the Doogie Howser and sausage jokes, if anyone has any advice I'd appreciate it. I feel like this isn't happening and I'm just waiting for it to hit me. GAH.

Wow o_O

Is the doctor hot? Hah but seriously...not sure what to say or make of that. Your dad's bound to find out at some point though, if she keeps blabbing about it. Old ladies are supposed to wait until the husband dies, and then reveal all of their lusty affairs.
 
It just occurred to me as I walked across the street for lunch that I have lived in Seattle my entire life and never owned an umbrella.
