PunkStarChik's blog: "Book Of Shadows"

one step at a time

Just an update on what's going on my end....

I finally had the courage to tell one of my parents today about what's been happening in my life. I had given him a phone call the other night telling him that I needed to talk to him that was really important that involved me and my husband, Richard. We made arrangements and we went out for lunch together on his lunch break.

It was really hard for me to tell him because I had no idea how he would react. But to my surprise, he took it pretty well. I had explained to him that things have been real rocky in our relationship for a couple years and that I was finally fed up and I wanted a divorce. I told him how I have been really unhappy with him and I couldn't keep living like this and wanted to move on. I also told him that I will be moving out by Feb and then will be getting a divorce.

He was real understanding and said he will help me out in any way. He even offered me to stay in his house but I declined that. I have my cats and I don't think it would work too well with his birds and dogs. LOL! I told him that I don't really expect too much help, but I only wanted to tell him because our 6 year anniversary is coming up on the 18th and I wouldn't feel right with them giving us something on that day like they usually do.

Mom doesn't know yet, but she will soon. I will find a time to tell her in person. I feel it's better for me to explain it to her than my dad. I know mom was a little concern about my phone call I made the other night and she tends to worry a lot. Dad said he won't tell mom about what we discussed. He doesn't like the idea of lying but he doesn't want her to worry but he knows I will tell her and he doesn't want her to worry also.

Dad told me that I could start slowly moving some of my stuff into their garage as storage so it will make it easier for me to move. We will just tell mom that I'm just moving things around in my home. Sometime soon, I'm going to take my mom out for lunch or shopping and I will explain it to her.

I almost broke down crying when I was talking to my dad. It was a real hard subject to talk to him about. But I was real happy he was understanding and....he hugged me. My family aren't the huggy type of family....I can't recall the last time we hugged. I hugged him back and told him "thank you" My dad and I haven't always had the greatest relationship growing up...but in the last few years, we've been getting a lot closer, which makes me feel real good.

So far, that's my update...I had told my dad and he's going to try to help me out in any way that he can. I feel good for telling him because it was a real hard thing for me to talk to him about.
