An update
Well guys and gals, I finally bit the bullet and told them. Gawd it was ugly....and it's going to get uglier. Apparently because of the way my mom handled it (not too well, yelling, name calling etc) my parents are now getting a divorce, which I found out my dad was planning for quite a while now, and this was his out. I really feel bad, but I know that it's not really my fault. I feel terrible that he's picking this time to do it, instead of giving her some time to get over this, he just does it all at once. And my poor little sis has to live at home w/ all this mess (she's 17). My dad, thankfully, was very cordial and didn't make me feel bad. I feel as if I should maintain some sort of contact w/ them, so the question is how long should I wait until I contact my dad (or my mom, but I think Dad would do better earlier than Mom)?
