Now I remember why my mother was so mad at my father. She seemed upset for the past couple of days. I thought I had done something wrong. I asked what was going on with her and she said it wasn't any of my business.
Later on that day my father asked me if I knew why my mother was so upset. I didn't know.
Whenever my dad came home, my mom would go off to bed without telling him anything, and she would make him sleep on the living room couch. With that, I knew she was mad at him.
My father would tell me to try to cheer her up, he would ask her if she wanted to go out for dinner or go dance. She would always refuse and I thought my father was trying to do something nice for her.
It turned out I was wrong. She told me why she was so upset.
A week before she was mad, we had all gone to San Diego to visit some family. Everytime we go to, my aunts and uncles invite my parents over to the casino. So they went.
On our way back home my parents seemed annoyed by everything, so we didn't bother them. What my mom told me made me think so different.
She said she had wanted to leave the casino because she was starting to lose money. Only that my dad was too into his game that he wouldn't leave. He told her to sit back down and to keep on playing. They were throwing threats to each other like " If you don't leave with me I will leave you and go off with my sisters[mother]" or "You leave and I will come back tomorrow morning[father]"
It turned out my father did what he said he would do. The next day he went back, only that he took some of our savings money. I don't know why he is always trying to prove something. Maybe he's tryng to prove hes "a man" or showing he can't be stop by some woman...
The amount he took was shocking, he had taken $4000!!
Now I can see why she was so mad at him. Once she finished telling me I was also mad at him. I didn't want to talk to him or anything. I know it's messed up that a daughter doesn't respect her father. But did he really earn respect? I don't think so.
And the one thing that annoys me so much is that he acts like if it was nothing! He says "Oh, shes just going crazy, don't listen to your mother." How can he say that about his own wife!
I just hope things get better soon.
