he's 48 ( or 47) and is having a midlife crisis that is making me crazy. i'm 23 still at home and about graduate college and transfer out of town. my dad who has always been my biggest cheerleader in life suddenly could care less what i do.
way back when i was about 6 my mom cheated on my dad and later moved out. they didnt divorce till I was 18. my dad who was well aware of my moms activities has no taken to be the person he cursed the most. he is now in a relationship with a woman who is married. they have been seeing each other for about a year. he knows I cant stand her and yet doesnt care.
