My Dad goes to the casino almost every night as it his way of "releasing stress" from work. He doesn't go home until after 6am. He has racked up thousands of dollars in debt and Mum bails him out every time. He has even gone as far as divorcing Mum so that he can marry another woman for $20,000 so she can enter Australia.
He acts normal in front of everyone but Mum cops his mood swings and bad temper and as a result Mum talks to me about it and has told me to swear to secrecy. I feel very burdened by the whole thing and don't know how to help either of them. Now Mum is considering re-mortgaging the house which they've spent most of their life paying off.
I can't help but feel extremely angry and resentful toward my Dad and cannot understand why he would do this to Mum.
