[quote=Anonymous]I sometimes think this forum has the meanest posters on DCUM. OP, the overwhelming advice is correct. Your dad lost his wife and has spent years adjusting to that, but he deserves to find some happiness in his remaining years too. The poor guy has been so gentle with you, trying to ease you into the idea he's dating. He sounds like a super great dad. Allowing competitive feelings or jealousy about your mother to creep into your psyche could be so damaging to your relationship with your dad. Your goal should be to get to a place where you can compartmentalize this relationship from that relationship and her from your mom - and find a way to meet her for your dad's sake. A therapist can help you with this. Coupling up in old age can provide so many health benefits that could ultimately lead to your father living a longer life than if he were alone. [/quote]
