The best and only thing you can do is to stay out of it. <BR>Understand that your parent's marriage has nothing to do with you and your brother. It has to do with them. <BR>Don't take sides, and don't allow either parent to put you in the middle. <BR>If it will make you feel better, tell your father that you over heard him on the phone. But all that will do is make him apologize and make him retreat to make his phone calls. <P>Please don't dwell on this. It's really none of your business. You'll survive if your parent's get divorced. And who knows, many people do not get divorced. Your parent's could have the kind of marriage where your mom can't fulfill your dad's needs and she gave him permission to seek things elsewhere. You don't know what your parent's have going. Don't jump to conclusions. Just concentrate on your studies.
