So here's the situation. My mom and dad have been going through a really messy divorce for the last few months. I have been in college most of the time, so I haven't seen the worst of it, but here is what is happening. My mom has been accusing my dad of several different things such as being a drunk and has claimed that he he had physical harmed and hit her on many different occasions. I have seen her many times attack my father and scream at him to hit her back. The last time that this happened one of my friends was with me and he also witnessed the whole scene. Basically, every time i catch them arguing is when they think they are alone. This is the best look I get of who they really are now. My mother has fed lies to my younger sister (times that I had caught my mother directly lying to my sister) in order to make her think my dad was some monster that he is not. My little sister will now treats my dad terribly and every time I confront her about it she just walks away and calls my mother. My father is not the brightest man, and my mother is noticeably more intelligent (or conniving rather) and has manipulated the situation at every turn to her advantage. Now, these are my parents I'm talking about, so I absolutely HATE having to take sides with these people that I have know my entire life, but something has changed in my mother and she is definitely in the wrong. She has called the police on him before to try and get him taken out of the house on false accusations that she made while I was there recently. She also removed all of the money in their joint savings account and has refused to tell my father why. My dad is very worried that they police are going to believe my mom over him the next time she reports something and that he will end up in jail. I'm not really sure on how to help my dad out in this situation besides being there for him and was hoping some of you could help him out with some advise.
