[quote=Anonymous]My dad is in his 70s and just remarried. Part of it is financial, to do with annuity being wasted if he isn’t married when he finally retires, or something. The “wedding” was just them so we were simply told about it. I am happy for him but nervous about sharing the news with my mother, who is generally reasonable but can attach herself to outlandish ideas and be a little nuts in that way. She’s convinced this woman is a gold-digger, and although I know her perspective shouldn’t affect me, I’m the only person she has to talk about this with and so she spews all this nonsense to me, which I wear since I’m an only child. We are getting ready to go in a vacation with her and the kids, so I guess I should break the news then. I suppose I’m just looking for some encouragement/commiseration![/quote]
