I don't feel like talking to anyone I know in "real life" about this yet, so here goes:

My mom and stepdad have decided to separate. They have been married for nearly 20 years, since I was a child. I have known for several months that this was a possibility, but it is still difficult to hear that the decision has been made.

I found out via my sister, I missed a call from my mom today and haven't called her back yet.

They live in a different state and I haven't seen them in several months. My sister and I are going up there for a few days this weekend (this was previously planned). My sister says they want to have a "discussion" about it while we are there.

I want to be by myself and speak to no one for several days. I don't want to get mad at my parents because I'm sure they already feel guilty enough, but I am sure this will happen if they try to make me "discuss" anything..... which they will..... since I will be trapped for 3 days in their house, with no bike, and only running shoes to escape in, and I can't even run that much because I am tapering for my 1/2 marathon. Crap.
