I'm 22 and married & live out-of-state. My parents have been married 24 years and are going through a messy divorce. My dad had been cheating on my Mom and he has stolen money from my younger brother (20). My mom opened a new bank account in July when they separated. The bank issued 3 different debit cards and my mom didn't get the first two. She went in the garage to get the registration for dad's motorcycle (lawyer needs it to tally the assets) and guess what she found: two of her bank cards that she never got in the mail! Every time I talk to him on the phone (usually on weekends), he says he's going to meet this guy named Mike Carmichael to play pool. We found out today through a co-worker, Mike Carmichael is an inmate on work release. He goes straight from prison to work and then back to prison. So my dad has been lying about that too.
Then, to top it all off, my mom went to McDonalds on Sunday (after she gave him a few bucks b/c he said he was broke and couldn't buy food or gas). Who does she see in the drive thru except my dad & his mistress. Now, she made the decision to run up to the car and start smacking the windows and yelling at them like a crazy person. She could have taken a picture & gone home. But she chose to confront them. My dad peeled out & the car knocked my mom down. She had to go to the ER because her ribs & a few organs were bruised (thought they were broken ribs). He admitted that he saw her laying there and chose not to stop and help because he was so angry.
Today her lawyer told her she needs to have him arrested for it. She keeps calling me asking me whether or not she should press charges. On one hand, he's my dad and this psycho lying, cheating, and stealing behavior is a recent development since they moved to Baltimore a while back. He was a wonderful father when I lived at home. But on the other hand, I know what kind of person he has become. I don't think I can give her advice on this one. What do you guys think?
By the way, "Staying out of it" isn't an option anymore. I just want my family to be safe & sound.
