It's always interesting how so much can change in such a short period of time. For example: I had an experience this past Friday. I went into town with my mom. We made a stop at the post office because she had a letter she needed to sign for. We were both unsure as to what the letter was about... Until she opened it. It turns out that my dad filed for divorce (again, mind you this is the...fourth time total, two each basically...at least I think it's the fourth). We're both rather shocked because he lead us on to believe that he had changed and was willing to change even more and work on his marriage to my mom. I believed my mom's hopefullness to their plans and believed their marriage had a chance because it was only going to be the two of them living together. My self nor my two older sibilings would be moving in with them in Arkansas (where my dad now lives).
So, we're all pretty surprised, except my extended family (on my mom's side). Of course, they were always wary of him. I am not heartbroken over this mess. I've already detached myself from him and the distance added to my detachement. I only feel for my mom because she really believed him, but she plans on fighting him in court because of what he is determined to give her in the divorce. Which is no alimony.
We'll see what happens. He's certainly lost his wife, kids, and grandchild (with probably more in the future).
