My dad has started dating and it’s really knocked me for 6! My mum died less than 2 years ago and I’m struggling. I can’t talk to anyone about it and I feel silly for even thinking it’s a bad thing! I know it’s selfish, because it’s a long time to be on your own.
But I can’t help feel sad and disappointed and overthinking the situations that may come from him having a new partner!
I can understand where you are coming from but I can also understand why your dad would want to be with someone. I lost my soulmate 17 months ago and while I have no desire to find anyone else I can appreciate how lonely it is on your own. It doesn’t mean that he feels any less for your mum so hard as it may be try to be happy for him and be prepared to accept this new lady into your life or you might find you lose your dad too.

Thank you for your honest replies.
I would never lose my dad over it and I keep all my feelings to myself, so he’d never know if I wasn’t happy about it.
It just reminds me that he found someone new, because my mum isn’t here and it adds to the sadness.
Thanks again for your responses. Kind regards.
