I'm sorry you are upset by this. I can certainly understand why. Are your mom and dad separated/divorced or are they still together?

I can't imagine why she would phone you to tell you this unless she was looking for one of two things from you.....either she wants your approval or she wants you to talk her out of it. Hard to say which one it is.

I can also imagine how hard it must be for you but please remember that these issues are your parents issues, not yours. People are going to do what they are going to do and we can't control them. We can let them know if we think they are making a mistake or doing things right. But to argue about it only makes things more difficult in the long run and creates more hard feelings. When we love our parents, it's very difficult to sit back and watch them make mistakes and at times make the same mistakes over and over again. Very much like what parents go through watching their children grow up and make mistakes as well.

Well, I'm rambling on here.....I guess what I'm really trying to say is that I hope you feel better about this situation soon. Hang in there (((((((( jacq ))))))))))
