(No Title)Another piece of what will hopefully be a 50,000 word novel by the end of November: I've done a little reading in Intro to Psych, and it seems to me that my dad is in the throes of a mid-life crisis, while my mother is entering the horrible years of her empty nest syndrome. This can be a time when couples edge toward divorce, depression, career changes rooted in unhappiness with the present course of events, and other aberrant behaviors. My father's gone off the deep end and bought himself a new acoustic guitar, and is talking about writing music again in his old age. Mom has started going to college full-time, which is distressing. For me, at least. She is an excellent student, highly competitive with her other non-traditional classmates, but doesn't think too highly of the academic slumber the 18-year-olds are in. Frankly, mom and dad are exhibiting classic symptoms of serious emotional disturbances, and I feel powerless to help them.
