[quote=Anonymous]My dad left my mom after 25 years, in the midst of a late midlife crisis. He wanted to go out and party with younger women and he did. He was terrible during the divorce and ended up with almost everything because she had worked forever and he was able to hide money. That's been the worst because she is constantly worried that he will leave his inheritance (much of which she worked for) to the woman of the month (ok, they usually last a bit longer). He remarried and his wife divorced him after a couple of years because he is so difficult. Mom never dated. She is happy but, financially, did not do as well as he did. Plus, she always planned on spending her elderly years traveling but ended up moving in with one of my siblings because she couldn't stand living alone. She has spent a good part of her elderly years babysitting.

Oh, and they get along ok now. I think dad regrets his decision a bit. The hard part is he moved far away and thinks we owe it to him to uproot our lives and go take care of him. [/quote]
