My fathers remarrying 2 months after the loss of my mom

[Megan]

I always looked up to their marriage. Now it feels like it was all a lie. I don’t think he was unfaithful but I’m not sure how he can move on so fast. I told him I’m not ready to meet this lady and I wish he would give it time and he says I’m selfish and only care about my own pain. I guess I just need to know if I’m being selfish? It hurts so bad that he’s moving on and wants to introduce the new lady to my kids. Am I overreacting?

I have just been told that my father has remarried after only two months of being single.

I am sorry for your loss. Your father may not have been unfaithful. Everyone moves through the grieving process at a different pace. Perhaps, finding someone new and being able to move on, was his way of dealing with his loss. There is no set time on grieving. Some people take a lifetime and never move on. I would support him and seek out the support I need for myself during this time.

I’m very sorry that you had to go through that so soon after losing your mom. I think I would have felt the same if I had been in your shoes. It’s been 8 months since you posted this but I hope that things are better.
