[quote=Anonymous]My parents got a divorce in 2008 after being together since 1975. Now my dad has had the same girlfriend since 2010 and my mom ran into her grammar school crush at a funeral and they have been together a year and a half. After divorcing and selling my childhood home, my parents bought condos 4 buildings down from each other downtown (as if there's not a million other neighborhoods and streets to live??).

Anyways my mom has COVID. She is finally on the upswing after 3 very scary weeks. She called me sobbing yesterday that my dad risked his health (over 65, heart disease, COPD) and left flowers, groceries, and CDs (lol old people) on her balcony. She was a blubbering mess saying no one else in the world would have been able to so accurately pick her favorite music, flowers, and comfort food/indulgences. She could hardly get the words out but she "confessed" to me that in the worst days of her COVID, my dad was texting her to check in everyday and one day my mom responded "always loved you, always will". She told me multiple times she didn't mean it like THAT and she's so worried she gave my dad wrong impression. She's so happy with her current bf- like puppy love giggling school girl. She doesn't know if she should tell him she talked to my dad or that he dropped that stuff off. Her bf was possibly exposed so he's been self isolating at his own house and therefore she's extra worried because she is confident her bf would have been running errands and helping her, but she exposed him, and therefore he has to stay in and my dad had the opportunity to swoop in. My dad also called me crying for the first time ever saying he was so worried my mom wouldn't make it through.

This is so awkward for me trying to be both if their emotional support while pushing down the little girl in my that wants her parents to love each other. On top of that I have to worried about my dawn dad that keeps going out to drop stuff off to my mom ugh.

I'd the point of my post, just needed to vent mostly. Anyone else find themselves in awkward positions with their divorced parents or dealing with COVID induced existential crises?[/quote]
