I'm not trying to downplay your situation and certainly don't know all the details but I think this situation is different than a stepfamily of divorce situation and also different being that the children are older. My father passed when I was 20. In the years after my sister suggested that my mom start dating. When my mother made a casual comment about it I told her that I did not agree and would not accept any relationship that she had with anyone else. Some may say this was selfish but personally I believe in "the one" and marriage being FOREVER if it is the right person. My parents never had any problems and if he was still alive, they would still be married. No, I don't want to see my mother lonely but she could have friends without being married and giving me a stepfather replacement. I'm not saying I would be rude to this new person, but I would keep my distance and make it known that I don't agree with the marriage. Just trying to provide a different point of view. I'm sorry you are going through this...like I said I would never be rude because its not the stepparents fault but I can understand where the difficult feelings would come in for a child with a deceased parent...even an adult. |
