Family problem I need help with.

Question

My parents got divorced last fall, and not even 3 months later my dad has a new girlfriend that has a bad record of using people for money. Well, ever since he met her, he has maxed out 5 credit cards and put a $500 ring on her finger! What made me the maddest is that my parents were married for 27 years and my grandma just passed away, and my dad forbid my mom from sitting in the family section, yet his new girlfriend was allowed! Is there anything I can do about this woman? Would it be rude of me not to attend the wedding if and when it happens?

Answer 1

First of all, what your Dad does with his money is his business. As long as you're not paying his bills, you shouldn't be involved.

As far as the girlfriend: I know that's a very tough one to deal with. For me, whether or not he was seeing this woman before he left your Mom is pivotal. If this were the case, I would just tell your Dad that you wish nothing to do with her. If you want to continue to see him alone, you could do that. But be prepared, she may press him to include her. If he cheated with her, your Mom should not have to deal with her AT ALL; she should stay away from family gatherings where you Mom will be there.

If he didn't cheat with her, then you should all learn to be in the same room for family gatherings. This doesn't mean you have to be very friendly. Just be polite and then go sit on the other side of the room.

Remember, this is the woman your Dad sleeps with. There's no way you can compete with that. So, if you want to be able to see your Dad, you have to be careful that you don't push it too far.

And give your Mom a hug.

Answer 2

don't worry when its gone she'll b gone

Answer 3

Just because he is your Father, yes. I know what's happening in your life is very painful right now, but your father needs your love and support, even if the woman he's involved with has less humanity in her then a demon. Due this woman's past,you should try to talk to him about this, even if he won't listen, just get everything out in the open, tell him how you  feel. If you feel comfortable, talk to this with his girlfriend, you are now apart of her life just as she is yours, whether she likes it or not, she's got to listen to you.

So, please give your father the help he needs, talk to him, and hopefully things will turn out for the better.

Best of Luck

Answer 4

you don't have to do anything. it sounds like your father is going to learn a lesson late in life. go to the wedding, but just make sure your mother knows its because its the moral thing to do, not because you disrespect her feelings. it sounds like he divorced a good woman(that would care enough to go to this funeral knowing what she would have to see.) the new one will show her true colors, while your dad is merely blue
