my parents have been split since before i can remember, my parents wont talk, not that they hate each other, they just choose not to. so im stuck being the middle man ALL THE TIME. for example: i had to go to the ER (spider bite) and they billed my mom, insted of mailing it to my dad, she first waited till i came home from college to give it to me. and told me to take it to him. i live 3 hours away from him. so basically, they just make things more complicated than they need to be. do your children a favor, and keep in touch.
