Family

I'm feeling a bit strange, like I'd like to fix something but I wouldn't know how...

My parents have always loved each other very much; in fact, they are the most stable couple in my family, 100% They've known each other for over 20 years, have supported each other a lot, raised good children, and although they have their silly fights, they love each other very much and respect each other 

But lately, for the last 3 years or so, my dad has kind of changed since he retired.

He has always been an overly busy man with very big responsibilities, with a really sad and unhappy backstory. But he has always given everything for his family and for us.

But lately I've noticed that he hardly lets my mom have a say. My dad isn't a sexist, so this behavior surprises us. It's like he's become irritable. And as if trapped in a cycle of remembering the past and dwelling on the past and on worries that only worsened after the pandemic

I'm afraid my parents will end up in a toxic relationship, and my dad refuses to seek therapy to help him through this phase of change he's going through. 

My mind wishes I could help them all with a little bit of magic
