Ahhh help explain why I feel so angry/upset.
When I was early teens DF had a long term affair then left our family and set up home with OW. It broke my Mums heart and was the catalyst for a string of horrible events, culminating in losing our home.
DF then split up with OW and was separated for 10 or so years during which time he did nothing but bitterly complain about how badly she treated him etc.
The newsflash is, they are back together!! And I'm supposed to be pleased and supportive, but I just feel incredibly angry and upset. Despite being and adult with a lovely DS of my own, I can't help feeling that she has "taken him away again" which is completely irrational. In the intervening years my DM passed away and this feels really disloyal to her memory.
Do other adult women have difficult/non existent relationships with parents partners who were adulterers? Do I just grow up and get on with it in order to keep the peace? DF is now 73 and OW 53!
