I'm kind of in an awkward position. My dad is a senator and he's thinking about running for president, and he's pretty sure he's going to run and he's wanted to for years, but my mom really doesn't want him to and she's trying to get me to talk him out of it. She tryed to talk him out of it but they've been fighting a lot lately. She was ok when he was working in the state, he was a state rep, then state treasurer, then governor, and she was ok with that because he was still at home but they've been fighting more since he became a senator a few years ago because he has to be away from home in Washington a lot and he's not home nearly as much because he's out trying to get money so he can run for president. But she wants me to try to guilt him out of it. I tried telling her that maybe it would be better because if he was president we'd all live together in the white house but she wants to stay here she doesn't want to go to washington. she wants me to try to tell him I'd miss all my friends at school and i really don't want him to do it and i would miss my friends but I also know how important this is to my dad and I don't want to crush his dreams and I think he'd make a really good president i really do. I told her to talk to him about it but she told me she's afraid to say anything else because she doesn't want to screw up their marriage but I can tell she really doesn't want him to run and I feel bad but I don't think I should have to be that involved in this. what should I do?
