I never thought I would make such a thread, and there are so many emotions running in my head at the moment.
Tonight, my dad has walked out of the house... I never would've thought to see something like this happen, but it did and it sure makes me sad.
Now, get this... I'm one of 3 children in my family. My 2 sisters got married, both got divorced, (one remarried) and now it seems that my parents are splitting up. That's right, everyone in my immediate family has experienced divorce...except me, because I'm not married yet.
So many thoughts are running through my head right now, and no doubt the enemy wants to destroy my family.
My family doesn't exactly have the greatest success rate for holding marriages together as you can see...and I really don't have any desire now to get married, because I've seen the fighting, from when I was little right up to now, and it just sickens me. Marriage in general is such a turn-off for me right now.
I confronted my dad before he stepped out that door, and told him: "dad, lose the pride now...because it will destroy you!...just say sorry for what you've done and make yourself clean. Swallow the pride dad...". My dad instead goes into the room, and tells my mum: "you'll never see this face again!" and then he stormed out. My mother went outside, for a last call to come in, but he was too hard-hearted, and he drove off. (Pride is a real killer
I don't really care what certain people think, because the few friends (3) that I have are really close to me, and they care for me. They are such immense blessings from God.
My sisters would actually welcome the separation, because they don't really like my dad. I've clashed horns with my dad many times, because he has a few mental disorders and just doesn't think straight many times (refer to my other thread here), so my sisters wouldn't be providing much comfort for me.
Has anyone experienced a parent walking out on them? Any advice you could give in regards to this? What did you do? How are you coping at the moment?
Man, I have so many emotions I'm experiencing now... It certainly isn't a good feeling.

sorry!
