[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sure, why not be happy for them. How is it affecting you?[/quote]

This happened to me, and it was upsetting to me as well.

It's because I think I had to mourn the loss of what I thought my relationship with my Dad would be.  And what his relationship with his grandchildren would be.

It took me a while to figure that the 20-30 years I envisioned I had with him would look totally different, and honestly, not what was I was hoping for.

You eventually come to terms with it, buts its ok to mourn/grieve for the loss of the relationship you thought you would have[/quote]

This is well-said. I’d only add that OP, you need to make a decision how much of a relationship you want with the kids. There is a pretty high chance they will be badly behaved and really challenging as young adults, as lot of kids in that situation are. Their odds of enduring a divorce or the death of a parent are also really high. I guess all I’m saying is be intentional in your decisions about interaction. [/quote]

Stop with the nonsense.  [/quote]
