I hate that I worry about my parents so much. For the past few years, my dad has really taken distance from my mom and refuses to do anything with her. Frankly, he doesn't like spending time with her or the activities she likes, so it makes some sense, but his solution is to become a shut-in sitting in front of his computer 24/7 (when not at work) and I know that this is not his way to be happy at all. On the other hand, my mom will not do anything he likes either (they're so incompatible) and blames it all on him. Not to mention the mental issues they have but don't accept.
Divorce will never happen. They're both too afraid of any instability, being alone or appearances.
I can't tell them my real thoughts about them because that will hurt them and only compromise my relationships. I just have to listen to them complaining without a word.
Aaargh. Nothing ever changes.
