Today, in the middle of a rough separation, my soon-to-be-ex-wife, who refuses to acknowledge it's over, told the children that I'm still going with them on that long-planned family vacation. The children are ecstatic; I however might be a bit less. FML

Today, my wife and I had an argument serious enough to end our marriage, while overseas on vacation, with my whole family present. Three more days of awkward tension until we get to fly home and it all ends. FML

OP's parents should have at least waited until the end of the road trip.

faced something like that with my horrible mother. she made me self guilty at age 7 by repeating that I am the reason of her divorce. never got relieved of this accusation until I became 20.
