Me being happy nd enjoyng my week hs just turned to sh*t.

When I got in I had message on the answering machine from my Dad so I called him back a he said he wa driving and would call me later.

In the meantime I thought I'd call my sister to tell her about my tattoo, turns out my Dad is going to be marrying his girlfriend.... I dont know what to do.... I just burst into tears and hung up from her...

My mum only died 5yrs past June.. I dont get on with him much or his girlfriend... he met her only 3mths after my mum died.

It's difficult hun

My stepmum (who was lovely - my mum and dad never married and I had a lovely stepdad who I always thought of as my dad, so I had no problems with my stepmum) died a few years back - v suddenly. Within months my dad was engaged to a v young woman in another country (not internet he was emigrating there anyway) within 12 months they were married

it didn't last - but that isn't the point. Your dad was probably v happy in his marriage to your mum and to him happiness is sharing his life with someone special. 5 years is actually a long time to be alone - I know he met her early on, and that must have been hard, but the main thing for you (I'm sure) is that your dad is happy. I remember Denise Robertson (agony aunt on this morning ) explaining the reasons she married again so early after being widowed twice - and it was that she's had such a wonderful time being married to her husbands that she wanted that wonderfulness again. She was old enough and mature enough to know what she wanted in a relationship and even if they seemed v different to her previous husband, she knew that they had the same qualities that she loved.

PM me if you want - I'll tell you more details of what happened to the family and what we did to get through it after my dad's second marriage. I'll not type it all here - this is too long already
