I'm really concerned about my parent's relationship...?

Question by glamtastic86: I’m really concerned about my parent’s relationship…?
Hi there. I’m wondering if anyone can give me any advice, my parents have been married for 24 years, they met when my mum was just 17 & my dad was 37 (a 20 year age gap). I’m 20 and my brother is 18. Within the past 2 years, my mum has become very hostile towards my dad, being very impatient and snappy. Last year my brother & I thought she may be having an affair with a man at her work as she talked about him occasonally, lied to us when he rang & said it was her best friend. (I rang 1471 & it was her work number.) She was always coming out of work later than her colleagues and was always deep in thought & looked sad. He also gave her an extra xmas present & told her not to tell the other colleagues. But my dad isnt innocent either, he doesn’t help around the house, never compliments my mum & I just found out he cheated on her on holiday in 1988 (which she doesnt know about). I just want my parents to be happy, hate seeing them miserable together. Any advice?

You have to get your family together and point out what’s wrong in the life they are in, and what could be done to correct it. Firmly remind them that if nobody does something to bring the family back together, you will all grow farther apart. Ask your mom (in front of the dad, ask her to be honest) what she wants out of the dad, and ask the dad (same thing) what he wants out of his life. Make sure they realize what is a resonable expectation out of each other.
