    ok so my mom has a date coming up soon
    and i dont know i guess im just looking
    for other people that have had parents date/marry
    after divorce and how it went, i would REALLY appreciate
    any responses!

    im just scared beacuse no matter how much i cant
    stand my dad, he will ALWAYS be my dad.
    He makes me sooo sick to my stomach everytime
    i think about him but
    i miss him so much.

    anyway, idk. hahaha

    Your father will always be your father. If your fathers cares anything about his family he will continue to be there for you.

    However, remember this is not about you. This is about your mother's happiness. Do not be self centered in matters of mom's heart. Let her do her thing and be there to support her no matter what happens. She gave you life...now it's HER turn! ;)

    oh no, believe me i am VERY happy for her
    she has been waiting to meet a guy forever
    and she deserves every OUNCE of happiness possible.

    i just think that she thinks
    that if she finds a man then everything will
    get all better because well, she has said that
    before and i never EVER want her to be
    as hurt as she was by my "father"

    5 years.
    he hasnt called
    hasnt sent letters.
    and i have tried SO many times to get
    into contact with him again.

    just praying that he has changed.

    Aw That Is So Sad.

    But Even Though Its Hard, Your Mum Has The Chance To Be Happy Again, Don't You Think You Ought To Give It A Chance, I Bet She Is A Wise Person, And She Can Tell Right From Wrong, Maybe This To Her Is Right..

    Good Luck

    And it's things like that put life in perspective. And it also gives you something to think about. x

    and it's things like that that are completely unasked for and have nothing to do with this subject. maybe stop acting like your problem means more than everyone elses and maybe start your OWN thread about it? ehh?

    and oh yeah, its nice knowing your drunk and
    abusive father. im glad he's gone and i hope to god
    that my mom finds someone that treats her like she should have been treated and should be treated
    for the rest of her life

    i never said it was hard to live with that
    im happy for her i just want to know
    other peoples experiences.

    My parents got divorced two years ago. It was the best thing that had ever happened! though things are okay between them, my mom has since gotten remarried to a fantastic guy. I even call him dad. things have worked out for me and my whole family! =) things CAN work!!

    Kids sometimes forget that there parents arent just mothers and father, they are women and men as well and just because you are a parent, doesn't mean you give up your life as an individual. Nor does it mean if you divorce that you should give up your right to happiness with finding someone else...
    Just stay open minded for your mum, you're right noone will EVER replace your father but try and stay positive about this situation as your mum deserves to be happy and loved as well :o) Too me though you seem to have a really good attitudee towards this - good on you!!
