[quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm curious about your current relationship with your father. Especially if he's with another woman, and your mother is alone. If you're close with him, perhaps she's hurt by this. I'm not totally agreeing with the whole humans are complicated, I'm entitled to a relationship with my father thing. What he did was absolutely unforgivable in my opinion. I do think this is something he did to you, as well as to your mom. I wonder if she's hurt that he doesn't seem to be experiencing any consequences as far as you're behavior toward him is concerned and she's unable to articulate that to you. Perhaps she'd like to you to care about how he treated your family of origin. I'm not suggesting this is healthy or rationale...but I could understand this. For example, if a sibling was molested and you weren't...would it be okay for you to have a relationship with your father because your experience with him was different? Obviously, the situation is different because your mom chose to stay with him. I'm also curious if you've ever asked her why she did that.[/quote]
