I knew this phone call was coming. It was only a matter of time. The phone call was the one from my Dad saying he had a “friend”. Well my dad and mom are still married. But I really can't be mad at my dad at all. For the last 20+ years my Mother has had multiple sclerosis. It's a disease that attacks the autoimmune system. Basically what happens is the signals from your brain don't make it to the other parts of your body. For the last 10 years or so my parents haven't really been husband and wife. More like care-giver and patient. They are both young. My dad just had his 56^th birthday on the 3^rd. And he takes great care of my Mom. But there are other things that he needs as a man. Now before anyone says I am just saying this because he is a man. I would be saying the same thing if it was my Dad that was sick. This sucks either way you look at it. He loves her and is not planning on divorcing her that is not a concern at all. It's just the fact that it has come to this that really sucks. I know he has talked with my Mom and I know they have agreed to this. This world isn't black and white but shades of gray. Dad isn't cheating on Mom. Dad doesn't not love Mom anymore. None of these things have come into play. There are just areas that Mom can't do for Dad what he needs. I am old enough to know the logic behind it. But I am still a kid that knows dad has a new “friend”.
