When do you decide to give up on a relationship? Especially one that has lasted 33 years. This decision was decided by my parents. My mother has asked my father for a divorce. My father wants to try and work things out. All my siblings support my mothers decision, so my father is angry with us. My father had a deep dark secret in his life. He never told my mother about it. When I was eighteen it came to light and my mom decided to stay with him then. Last year it stuck its ugly head out again...
