It is all part of personal growth together in the relationship between the remaining parent & children. To suggest that another "love interest" is the answer to the loss of an integral member of the family unit can certainly be confusing to young children vs pulling in the support of those friends & family members already in place. Grieving is a necessary process toward healing that should not be denied. All in due time.

My first marriage ended in divorce when I discovered he was having an affair, so I do know what it feels like to realize someone you love is turning to someone else.

They are talking about getting married after mom passes away! Then how long to wait so people wont gossip. I have not told anyone about this or confronted my dad. I am physically ill and I am so scared. Did you have children with him? I guess I just want to know if they accepted her. I am sorry to ask you this. I jut don't know what my future holds. The only thing that is certain for me is that my mom is going to die and my dad is a lying cheater with another woman. All I do is cry. I feel like I have lost both my parents. My mom to colon cancer and my dad to another woman that I dont even know.
