Brittanyjean06 Posted May 14, 2006 Posted May 14, 2006 I am very thankful for having my youth, and being able to change things.. But my mom on the other hand, is not happy, she hasn't been truely happe for many years, she has been married to my father for a while, and he lives in the basement and she concentrates on her self upstairs. My mom is a teacher and doesn't really make that much money to get what she really wants in life to make her happy I want her to be happy, I am constantly worrying about her and her hapiness because she is 50 years old and I want her to make the most of her life and be happy. She doesn't hang out with people, she does her own thing. I try to encourage her to go out with people maybe, or try to do stuff for her tomake her happy. My dad works full time, and only has sundays off, and those are his days to rest and what not..he is the one who pays the bills and supports the family.. I guess this can go to my dad to..I want them to be happy but they don't do stuff that is fun and makes them happy Its the same old crap as it has been for years now, I am just noticicing it and really makes me feel like crap that I can tell my parents aren't happily married or enjoying their life any advice?
westernxer Posted May 14, 2006 Posted May 14, 2006 Just be the best daughter you can possibly be. Whatever happened between your parents has nothing to do with you, and only they can fix it, if they truly want to. I knew friends who had parents living in similar circumstances. Oftentimes they stay together for the kids, or because it's too difficult to change their routine and start over, once they reach their comfort zone. It ain't easy having a family. Kids change everything, but that's life. Definitely not ready myself, but I respect those who are up to the challenge and don't run from their responsibilities. It's definitely a sacrifice for the sake of the children.
alphamale Posted May 14, 2006 Posted May 14, 2006 Just be the best daughter you can possibly be. I would agree with this. Many parents can live vicariously thru their kids and the kids being happy makes them happy. They have sacrificed for the betterment of the child(ren).
