Okay, so here is as much of the story as I can get out, and hopefully you guys can give me some advice, because I feel really lost right now. CN at bottom.
Anyways, my mother is terrible with money. Our family used to be relatively well off and now we're not. At all. But she still wants to spend like we are. She steals my fathers checks and writes them out to cash. Finally, some time in February he gave ME the checks to hide. I offered to do it because I was sick of utilities getting cut off due to my mother stealing the bill money. Well, evidently she found where I had hid them and stole some. My father found out about this on Monday and was absolutely furious. He called and asked how she got the checks. He left her a voicemail basically saying that he wants her out of his house and he wants a divorce. He is sick of working his ass off to barely make it by and having her steal the money he needs to pay the bills. And on top of that, we've suspected for a while that she's on some kind of drugs.
Today I found out that my aunt and uncle are on the way here from NOLA (where my mom is from). They are going to spend the weekend here and on Monday my mom and sister are going to go to New Orleans with them. I am invited to go as well. My mother informed me of this as she was walking out the door to meet her manager at work. According to my sister, no one knows when my mother plans on returning to Georgia. Some time before the new school year begins, I would imagine.
I called my father (an OTR trucker) to find out what exactly is going on between them. I asked him if they were really getting a divorce and he told me that he doesn't know. I told him about what's going on with the whole going to NOLA thing and he had no clue. I told him that my mother is under the impression that he wants a divorce. I also told him that she was under the impression that if she didn't leave the house that he was going to stop paying all the bills. He said that he did say something to that effect while he was very very angry, but that he didn't really mean it.
So basically, I told him that he needs to talk to my mom to find out what's going on. To figure out what they're going to do as far as their marriage is concerned. He told me that he does not want to talk to her right now, but that he wants ME to talk to her to find out where her head is. I feel like if I DON'T talk to my mother on his behalf, that he won't talk to her at all and none of this is going to be discussed.
So right now, I don't know if my parents are getting divorced or not. My mother and sister (the only other people in the house) are leaving to go to NOLA with her family for an unknown amount of time. We have 3 dogs, 2 cats, and a bird. I don't know what is going to happen with the animals, and I don't know if me staying or going with affect whatever her plan is. I don't know if I should go with them, or stay here. There are benefits and drawbacks to both.
CN: Paren'ts possibly getting divorced. Dad wants me to be the messenger between them. Mother and sister packing up and going to NOLA for an undetermined length of time. I don't know if I want to go with them or not.
