[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of the worst things about my parents divorce when I was an adult was that I then became responsible for both of them, financially, health, emotionally etc. I am an only child and it was awful. Yes my Dad got to live his life in peace but at my expense and I am resentful. Although I do get it. It's exhausting. I wonder who your dad thinks is going to manage your mom, but she will be in much more devastated emotional state. I'm just not sure I could do that to my own kids.[/quote]

This. 
I'm sorry OP. Honestly, your dad is being selfish. He made the choice to stay in the marriage, supposedly for you and your siblings. I guess he thinks he gets to just walk away. Who does he think is going to take care of your mom after his departure sends her into a tailspin...Oh wait: You and your siblings. [/quote]

Of course he can leave if he wants or needs to. And you don't have to care for your mother if she is a manipulative emotionally abusive jerk. The man put his time in to make your lives and hers more comfortable for years and years - that's enough. Have some respect.[/quote]

Right. There are some truly selfish people on here. OP's mom sounds like a miserable person to spend a lifetime with. I don't blame the dad for wanting some peace.[/quote]

Agreed. 
I think most of your are forgetting that we get ONE life to lead.  He should be allowed to live the rest of it in peace.

Those calling the dad selfish are truly the selfish ones, asking him to live his life for someone else. [/quote]
