Today I got a call from my brother saying that my dad left my mom today after 30 years of marriage. It isn't one of those nasty should of happened five years ago divorces. My dad just up and left to live in the Phillipenes (we live in Portland, OR). He suffers from depression as do I and I think at the age of 62 with no job he wanted to do something meaningfull. He plans to as far as I know teach English over there.

He just has done it in such a way that is almost unforgivable. My dad leaves without saying a word and leaves a f'ing note for my Mother. I still don't know all the details but it seems to me that he plans to stay there a long while and my Mom has been talking to me about selling the house and getting the F! out of there.

I can understand why my Dad wanted to do this but the way he did it was very evil.

Funny that my Dad has been on me since I was 14 to get my life together and get clean off of substances, live a better life. I am now 23 and finally achieved that and having probably the best relationship so far with my him. Then he leaves.

I went into Gamestop today to pick up a new PS3 game and I had a game to trade in. I look around for a little bit then found the game I wanted and went to the counter to trade in my game. The purchase went through and then I saw that the gamestop clerk put my game into the bag along with the game I traded in. I notice right away and decide not to say anything. I walk to my car and drive away.

Now I feel a little guilty about the situation. I am thinking about going into gamestop tomorrow and returning the game I traded in. Not because I love the almighty gamestop but I don't want the clerk to get written up or worse. I am not sure how stern gamestop is about these type of mistakes.
