My dad has just had a conversation with me to tell me he’s recently met a woman who he’d like to get to know and what did I think about it.
My mum passed away 6 months ago after a long terminal illness where my dad cared for her, so although it’s only a short time since she passed, due to the illness it’s not the time that concerns me, it’s the woman!
I genuinely have no issue with my dad meeting someone else and I think he fully deserves another chance at happiness, but I can see alarm bells with this woman and don’t quite know how to deal with it! She’s almost 20 years younger than him, and is still in a marriage which she has told him is dead but she is staying another couple of years until her youngest is at university.
I feel like my dad is vulnerable at the moment, but I also don’t want to treat him as an idiot, so how do I raise concerns without looking like I’m being a difficult daughter who just doesn’t want him to move on - or do I just be supportive and see where thing go and keep my opinions to myself (full disclosure I’ve not met her)!
Help!!
