Please give me advice on my broken family.
Dear Dr. Phil and Boards,
I had just moved back home from college after being away from home for almost all of my undergrad. 5 months ago I found out my parents we having issues just like any one who has been with one another for so long I am sure. Recently these issues have been unravelling. My mother works full time as does my dad. I have a younger brother who is being neglected by my mother. As soon as she comes home she jumps right onto the computer doing and speaking to g-d knows who. She is on a social networking site with all of her friends and recently confessed to me that she has been chatting with some guy for a while and that she might be in love with him. I was shocked when she told me this I didnt know how to respond to her. She has not met the guy, she comes home, gets on the computer is on it until my dad gets home then sprints off of it. My dad knows she is always on the computer but does not think anything of it. I dotn want to take sides on it but I want them to somehow repair their porblems. I know my mother she just wants more attention from my father, she wants to feel appreciated but how can that be dont if shes not doing anything to be appreciated for? I love my parents dearly, we just rekindled our relationship about a year ago, since we did not speak for almost 2 years when I came out and its funny how the tables have turned on "their perfect" lives. What can I do to get everythin gback to normal in some way. I do not want to take sides and taking a bat to her computer is not an option! :(
Thanks
