Alright now is the time for me to be spreading a crazy theory of mine that really doesn't have all that much support but it's the conclusion I've come to anyway. I don't care whether I'm right or I'm wrong, I really wouldn't be all that beat up about it, but I'd be so fucking pissed at her for my dad. He doesn't deserve it. Anyway, whether she is or not she's been acting weird, so here's my evidence: for one thing they've been fighting a lot, criticizing each other for pretty much nothing (idk if I'm biased but it seems to me that my mom starts a lot of it, and she's more mad more often), she's been really secretive lately, talking on the phone first in her closed room, my closed room (which is further from anything else from her room, hers being in the middle of the hall and mine at the end), and eventually outside in the car. She reeeally doesn't want us to hear her. And she's started randomly leaving and not telling anyone where she's going, avoiding questions, staying out all night and sleeping wherever she happens to be that night. She's hardly home anymore. And she got this new job over the summer so she works at home now, but since school started she started getting all dressed up with makeup and such in the mornings, and she puts on like half a bottle of perfume (I can smell her from across the fucking house, not a good start to the morning for a sleep deprived teenager). Before this all started I overheard her on the phone saying how she misses a certain part of her relationship, and how she's so lonely in this certain way.
Anyway, even if she's not cheating or anything she's putting huge stress on their marriage, and my poor dad is pretty helpless. He avoids conflict at all costs, so he's not going to take her up on anything. He seems sad, though. He talks to me a lot now which I don't mind :) but it's sad that he can't really talk to his wife at all. For them their conversations never pass "Are you okay with this for dinner tonight?""Oh, I won't be home for dinner. I'm also gonna sleep over at my sister's tonight, so don't wait up. I won't be home for church tomorrow."
Anyway, thanks for reading this far. I'm glad someone took the time. Like I said, I'm not too beat up about it, just pissed off for my dad's sake. Comments would be appreciated anyway, though :)
