It didn't work. It was hardly surprising.
I guess I'm lucky in a way, my dad remarried and I have a wonderful stepmom, we have enough money to support us, and through the madness I was able to get closer to everyone in my family.
I sure don't feel lucky though.
The divorce has been going on for at least 8 years now. Even though the agreement is final both of my parents are still fighting over money.
My dad tells me my mom is digging out of my college fund to try to get more money. My mom tells me my dad had already taken from that fund.
I don't know who is lying.
The lawyers my parents have are complete scum. They take advantage of both of my parents by convincing them the other is not to be trusted. Even if my parent was pleading for world peace the lawyers would tell the other parent that they were secretly pleading for a nuclear war, and the parent would believe them.
I tried to help, I tried everything. It turns out that in my family, hate is much stronger than love. No love for me or my sister or anyone other than themselves exists.
My dad calls me to rant about how much of a bitch my mom is. He tells me what he wishes I would tell my mother and then tells me not to do anything.
My mom wont talk to me about anything I try to confront her on, she says its not my problem and to leave her alone.
I don't want them to get back together, I just want them to stop fighting.
It'll never happen.
