[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do all of you who think that adult children should have a say in their widowed parents romantic life's believe that parents should similarly be entitled to mettle in your adult relationships, marriage etc?  [/quote]

OP never, ever once claimed she should have a say. In fact no PPs have either. They said it can hurt. Don't pretend like moving on to marriage after death very quickly is the same as a previously single parent having another chapter in their "romantic life". Its not.[/quote] Perhaps "having a say" was a bad choice of words, but plenty of posters expressed judgment, anger, hurts etc. when their parent found a new partner or "replaced" the deceased parent. Those same individuals would most likely be upset if their parents expressed negative emotions about their marriage choices or romantic life. Your grieving and their desire to try and a grab some happiness are not and should not be entertained--assuming we are talking about adults and not children who have recently lost a parent. Too many people on this site complain about clingy parents, or bemoaning the lack of food dating partners. If someone can find happiness after grief, no one should judge them. [/quote]

The ones who start dating/marrying within weeks or months are not about finding happiness. Those of us with dads who went on proposal sprees can attest to that.  The women willing to jump into a grieving family like this before the gravestone is in place are not looking for for companionship or a solid relationship, particularly if they are not widows tuemselves. They are often manipulative users, selfish and destructive personalities. [/quote]

VERY well said last PP. We are not talking about companionship here or people trying to heal.

Many of these women who do this are vile, manipulative users with no regard for the grieving widow or the family.
