What should I do? ;_;
12 years ago
My family is having a hard time right now. I don't even know where to begin. My parents would be a good place to start. I'll start there. My parents are divorcing, and fighting every day. My mom told me my dad was having an affair so she said she was divorcing him. I didn't want to believe her. I denied it in my heart everytime it came up but it finally hit me when he told me one on one he was dissatisfied with his marriage. That he was talking with this old friend and not all that they were saying wasn't suggestive but he swore it wasn't physical. He was always a big fan of lance armstrong, seems fitting that he buries himself as a last ditch effort to save what little bit of face he has left. I have sat and watched as my parents fight over little crap and act like kids wanting everything and not share with the other. There is no give and take anymore. My family is broken. My little bro hates my dad, my older bro won't even speak to him and my mom is constantly trying to burn a broken man to the ground. She attacks him constantly. My dad doesn't even fight back anymore. Im 18 now, which is great because 5 days after my birthday they divorce, so I can go wherever I want, whenever I want in terms of who I live with. I can't trust anyone anymore it seems. My "good friend" extorted and stabbed me in the back, my own dad lied to us and cheated on my mom and didn't have the guts to admit it at first. I just can't wait to leave. Get away from all of this. I don't care where I go I just don't want to be here anymore. Someone give me some advice that could help me keep what's left of my family together.

Have you tried voicing your concerns to your mom? Maybe she'll listen to you. Maybe tell her that even though he cheated, he's still your father and that he's now part of the family, so it would be best if they stayed together until you are all old enough to live on your own. Then maybe she can divorce him

OP
It's alright. I may have a way out. My grandmother today extended me a very good offer. I come and live with her to escape the clusterfuck that is my family problems and she will financially support me. Meaning food, clothes, a home to live in with no fighting, and my favorite of all college will be paid for by her. But if I choose to live with her I'm going to be going against my philosophies of always face you're problems head on and never leave your family and don't ever be a burden. Also I won't have wifi so being in FC or on games online or on games in general is out the window. I'll lose contact with most of the furries I know and I may fall out of the fandom entirely. Sometimes there is a light at the end of the tunnel, only problem is its a train. Maybe it will stop. Maybe it won't.
