Broken

So, what do you call it when your parents are married, but they don't live in the same city
and they don't talk to each other
and they don't love each other
and you can't remember a time when they actually did?

And how do you continue to listen as complaints are filed
and lines are drawn
and fingers are pointed
and denial is rampant?

And how are you supposed to deal with the fact that they have been at it like this for years
and the family is in a constant state of trauma
and there's no indication that things will be different
anytime soon?
