Back story is that our parents our divorced, basically because they didn't get on anymore. We aren't close to our Mother, as she wasn't really around much growing up and although I am fairly friendly with her now my brother has always been stand offish.
Anyway, he has always gone out with older women(he's 30) but recently has started dating someone who is 60. The same age as our Mother.
I am really finding it hard not to be creeper out by the whole thing. She even reminds me of my Mother and they spend time doing day trips to placed my Mother loves to go to (stately homes etc) the kind of things my brother always slated her for.
He has also decided to go NC with our Mother at the same time so in my view it's like he is trying to replace her?!
I don't know it's just very weird and I'm trying to be ok with it as my brother and I are close. But I find myself avoiding him as I don't want to be around the two of them.
Has anyone been in a similar situation?! Am I being really horrible about this?
