[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If they have plenty of money I see no reason why your mom shouldn't do what she wants even if that includes divorce. I guess if I were you and was worried about my devastated dad I would focus on helping him deal with it. Maybe he needs to reflect on what he's done to annoy her so much.[/quote] He may not have done anything. She may just not be able to cope with change and negotiate a new normal. I would encourage couple's counseling with someone older generation savvy before I'd do this. My mother was miserable with my dad the entire time he was retired and then fell apart when he passed away and missed him terribly. She was still miserable when he was gone. The issue was her untreated mental health issues. He was not perfect, I know, but she was doing a lot of blaming him feelings she could not cope with and never having to deal with him again did not solve her problems.Meds did.[/quote]
