[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is helpful. My dad did have some health issues in the past that did require my going back and forth (he is not near). He met this lady and seems happier. She is a widow and they are both older. My mom however is angry and threatened to not talk to me if I accept her which puts me in an awkward place. Mom has always though her and dad would get back together which I knew would not happen as mom has too many issues. Anyway I am trying to be open and be happy for dad and maybe my kids to have another grandparent (I am told she is eager to be part of my kids lives) . I am hoping the weird feeling that I am being a bad person to accept her passes quickly.[/quote]

This issue is your mother's not yours. You are an adult now who has experienced adult relationships and dynamics in them. You can see. Oth your parents for who they are, not the six year old's vision. While maybe you don't want to post a billion FB pictures with their "new nana", this is not your burden. Positive relationships are always a good thing. [/quote]
