My parents have been married 25 years today. My dad forgot.

I guess it would be different if this was the first, but he always forgets or if he does remember, he doesn't even plan so much as giving a card. He also forgets her for Christmas, her birthday and even Mother's Day. She always does special things for him. She loves him relentlessly. And every year she drops hints, or even tells him blatantly what she wants, or that she feels neglected, etc. They've been through counseling, several times, with no real improvement. And it's not like he's a really nice guy otherwise. He's nice and will drop everything he's doing for a friend, or even extended family, but not for my mom, my sister or me. I don't understand it.

I just got off the phone with her today and it seems she's finally had enough. I think she's filing for divorce tonight. I'm heartbroken for her.

That is hard, he must think that his presence in their lives is "enough". I think my dad thought that and it's part of why my parents got divorced.

I'm very sorry for her and for you. Not so much for him. It seems something he brought on himself. Mother/daughter time seems like a good idea.
