I'm going to be at the Actress and the Bishop in the jewelery quarter tomorrow. Just for any stalkers out there.

Want to meet up and have some bum sex? (no homo)

Same time next week?

Nah True Blood is on that time next week.

"Call me ASAP - Mum"

Certainly only a few scenarios worthy of such a text, and thus it was decreed that my parents are splitting up.

I feel it shouldn't be a big deal. Hell, I'm 20 (thus mental development is well and truly done thankyouverymuch); I'm at Uni, so I won't get much of the fallout; and nothing drastic is happening. My Dad works away a lot, and won't be cutting my Mum off finacially.

So why does everything feel so sucky right now, guys? I'm so sad for my Mum and I feel upset that my Dad thinks I would hate him over this...

Apologies for the poorly constructed blog style post, but I GOTS NO PLACE ELSE TO GO.

It was out of the blue, I guess. Maybe I'd have expected it a couple of years back, but not right now. Not at all. My Mum was in tears on the phone. It sucked.

Why do I feel embarrassed to tell people? Like I'm a bad person because my parents' relationship didn't work out?

I've done nothing but curl up on he sofa watching House and US Office for the past few hours, neglecting all work responsibilities.

My mind is darting about, hence the rather eccentric post. Anywho, that's what's been going on with me. Someone be my friend.

That sucks, man. Manly hug?

I too had a similar rollercoaster of a time earlier today.

My mum, being utterly technologically illiterate, had already described her terror at the prospect of this digital retune-athon. So I called her to ask whether she wanted me to pop by after work to sort it out. When she picked up though, she was in floods of tears and said, through her garbled, poor reception, broken voice '....Visited yesterday....drugged to the eyeballs....gone....I'm driving, call you in 10 minutes'.

Now, my Grandma was hospitalised this weekend after she had a mild heart attack on Sunday morning. She's so frail, and her BPM was running at nearly 140, for no reason bar exceptionally low pressure. Now, I'd not had a chance to get to the hospital, but I knew Mum was visiting and would tell me if I needed to get there sooner.

So when I got a tearful message saying those things, my mind instantly concluded that my Grandma had died as a result of this out of nowhere attack. For the ten minutes it took for my mum to call back, I'd gone through everything from 'What was the last thing I said to her?' (luckily, it was 'Love you loads' (strawberry float you, my Grandma's strawberry floating awesome)) to 'Who do I need to tell people I need a day for a funeral'.

Me, pretty much distraught and sitting by the side of the road in my car, with the phone in hand for fear of moving.

Mum calls back.

...

She had really bad toothache. She visited the emergency dentist yesterday, said her bone was infected and she needed antibiotics, so she was drugged to the eyeballs and it was interfering with her anti-smoking drugs and causing her to be hyper-emotional.

I probably shouldn't have burst out laughing at this (she wasn't impressed) but I've never been so relieved in my life.

Grandma's fine, the tough ol' bird.

EDIT; Obviously manly hugs for Aaron.

You've been too awesome over the last 6 months for me to not give you the manliest of manly hugs.

That's awesome, Skarjo! Glad she's OK.

Aaron mate, the same thing happened to me when I was 14 except I was in the house when it actually happened. I know what it feels like bro, I'm here for you. Sorry to hear about it.

Thanks for the support, dudes. It's very cool.

You're all very cool guys.

Hi aaron. My parents divorced when I was 13. Seems so long ago now. So long ago. Just letting you know so you don't feel too alone in your situation. As you note, it could have been worse if it had happened in your formative years. Just try and be there for your mother and keep her in the loop with how you're doing at Uni so she still feels she has got her son at a time where she will feel at a loss. Same goes with your dad for that matter.

Corazon de Leon

Well I do wear sunglasses at all times. You should visit Glasgow, we'll go for a pint. It'll be funtimes.

EDIT: I'm surprised that I don't 100% know this but are you an only child? I'm inclined to say yes.

:hugz:

Yeah, I'm sure my Dad feels a lot better to get all this off his chest, and I think he was just so worried I'd hate him, but I'm better than that.

My Mum was distraught, though. I'll make sure I keep in touch with her more.

Mafro is a Rangers fan, and thus I am the anti-Mafro.

I feel your pain man. Parents split when I was 12. Ryan's here for you man! :wub:

Mine split when I was 18.

Can the weekend please hurry up

Mine split when I was an infant.

To be honest, I can't imagine any couple could have brought me up better than my single mum did. :wub:

Corazon de Leon

My mum was a star when my mum and dad split as well. They're actually back together now, but the three years we were on our own(me my mum and my brother), she was brilliant.
