Urgent please, my dad's love trauma

[swedishmum]

Please help. Mum died 18 months ago after 10 years of illness. Dad has a lovely partner who lives in France (they've known each other years) - she's 81, he's 79. She just phoned me - he's written saying he's met someone else and not to contact her again. She's booked herself on Eurostar to arrive on his doorstep tomorrow for answers. I think I've met his new "woman" - from his church, don't get me started. Feigned ignorance to lovely French lady. Now need to phone dad as he doesn't know she's arriving.... HELP PLEASE!! Have no relatives for adviceXX

oh god, I think just steer well clear after warning your dad, wait to see whether he confides in you or deals with it himself.

Yes, I think let your dad deal with it, because although they are all elderly now, they still know how love and affairs of the heart work.

Agree warn him and then let him deal with it.

Did she want him to know she's coming ? Keep well out of it , the politics of love among pensioners is complicated.

i would warn him then stay out of it.

nice to know you can still have a choice at his age though, blimey theres hope for us all
