Mom died in April and Dad is dating already

I am sorry to hear that, that is a bit soon. My mother waited 15 years before she started dating again, which is a bit long in my book.

Granted, that seems to be a quick start on a new life, but there’s a good possibility that he’s simply trying to escape the pain of loss, and not “looking” for a replacement…Like he’s escaping thru diversion.

I think tho, that if tabs were kept on remarriage after a death, that it’d be found that more men remarry, and they do it far faster than women…

You should talk to him —

I dont know what kind of relationship he had with your mom, but to me anyways, it might seem rather fast to be dating someone else — but — it’s not a bad thing. Everyone has their own way to move on, and their own way to deal with the loss of someone special.

As for you — you’re perfectly normal to feel this way — you lost your mom! and it’s probably bugging you a lot that your dad seems to have found someone, and it’s not so much you as you think it should be… You’re ok — and it will get better…

But — Talk with your dad — he has no way to know what you’re feeling or anything unless you share it with him. Maybe it’s just his way to deal with things… but, you need to talk to know for either of you what’s going on and how to make it better for everyone.

Good luck…

aww im so sorry :( maybe he’s dating to keep his mind off it.

Thats horriable. 2 and a half months and he is dating again. Thats wrong

I’m so sorry about your mom! I think you should talk to your dad though. How can he be dating already?! Its been a little over 2 months, just a few days more! He needs to know how you feel about it. After all, you lost someone too. He needs to think about you, not just himself. But this could be his way of dealing with her death.

If we weren’t talking over a computer I’d hug you imaginary Hug I’m so sorry about your mother.

Your dad is probably trying to fill the gap in his heart, but knows dating wont really help. He is just trying to take his mind off of it. I have heard A LOT of situations like this, and my advice would be to talk to him.

Just know that no one can replace your mom and even if he does end up dating more, remember this: you cannot ever replace a person you love but you can add more people to the list of the ones you love.
