saw your note below. i'm sorry you're also feeling this same pain too. its really not just between two people. it involves an entire family and sometimes more. in my case, although there was a lot of hurt, at least they aren't fighting. i hope your parents can hold it together for the rest of you (and siblings) during the holidays. do you have any idea how you'll spend that time? i don't know yet. i'll be home for christmas, not thanksgiving. it's going to be weird.
best of luck to you 
Re: ANSchick08
Thanks. My mom isn't talking to my dad so they can't fight I guess. My mom isn't really talking to me much either but my dad is calling me like everyday because he's depressed and lonely, which is REALLY stressful to me.
DH's mom actually lives like 3 min from my parents' (well I guess now my dad's) house. And my mom wants us to go see her for at least one of the holidays. So DH and I are going to VA to my mom's new place for Thanksgiving, which I am not looking forward to at all. And then spending Christmas with my dad & DH's family. I'd prefer to just stay in Raleigh and spend the holidays with just DH and our furbabies, but we're not.
Hopefully you and I can both get through the holidays in one piece
i hear ya. making it through in one piece is my only goal. i almost want to do something completely opposite of tradition. but i know NOT going up to see them (in Ohio) just isn't an option.
its really really weird going to my mom's new place and seeing furniture from our house there. my dad is still living at 'home' but i think they got an offer on the house last night. sad
i love that house.
Yeah my mom wanted me and my brother to go "home" and pick up pretty much all of the furniture to bring to her new place. I said no because 1-it's 3 hours in the opposite direction; 2-I think it's sh!tty for her to take ALL the furniture and leave my dad nothing (seriously all that would be left is the furniture in my old bedroom; she wants all the master bedroom, living room, dining room, and brother's room furniture). My brother was going to go, he's completely on her side because she gives him money all the freaking time.
It's definitely going to be weird going to my "mom's place." Luckily my old roommate from undergrad is currently living about 45min from my mom's new place and will be coming for Thanksgiving too. And she said that we can stay with her instead of my mom if I want. So I have an escape planned if I need it.
I'm anticipating things going badly considering last time I was home me and my mom got in a huge fight over what she was doing that lead to the separation (she was pretty much having an online affair among some other things). Add to that, that her whole family, including her mom, will be there and my grandmother called me shortly after my mom left home and yelled at me for "taking my dad's side." It's going to be a great holiday
Is there anywhere near your mom's new place you could use as an escape when you go visit her? Or maybe have someone else join you for whatever holiday you go visit for? I felt a LOT better after my old roomie said she's come to Thanksgiving and said I could stay with her if I needed to.
Woof, driving to Ohio and having to deal with this too? Geez, I'm not making the trek to Ohio this Thanksgiving b/c I need a rest, and doing all that travel the one chance I get isn't what I call rest. We're going for Christmas though. I couldn't imagine sitting through that drive and wondering what's going to happen. I feel for you! Best of luck Katie!
