My mom is having an affair with a younger man. What should I do about it?
Ok so my mom and my dad recently got divorced. I handled it very well since I knew it wa going to happen but when I just discovered what my mom is doing now I cant take it and just sometimes burst out crying when I'm alone. I was suspicious thatshe was having an affair because she was texting this guy alot. But this guy lives across the street and he is 23 years old and my mom is 43. In my opinion its disgusting and I saw text that just I wish I could take back from seeing. I dont know if I shuld confront her or not but I'm the only kid in my family that knowsout of my three other sisters. PLEASE HELP ME! I dont know what to do.
My husband calls his mom "sweetie" and "honey". I'm weirded out by this. Am I overreacting?
My husband has always been close to his mom, but when he calls her "sweetie", "honey" or one time I even heard him call her "baby", I think it's inappropriate. I've told him it bothers me, and he thinks I'm overreacting. He said it's natural for him to call those names to people he loves, such as when he calls our female cat "baby." One time I was really angry though, because his parents and us went to Wal-Mart, and she held his hand walking around the store. I left the store and sat outside because I was so ticked, and of course he said I was being immature. He's 27! He shouldn't be holding her hand. If he's comforting her for something, that 's different. But for no reason, in public, I feel is inappropriate. Is this as weird of behavior as I think, or am I overreacting?
What do you do when your step mom is a witch?
I think you answered your own question. You are an adult and you have other responsibilities ... "i can not wast my energy on it cause i have to be there for my kids." It sucks, granted, but your dad is an adult and even if he is not acting like one (imo) you have to let him make his own decisions. You do NOT have to call her your stepmother, though. I know plenty of people who refer to their parent's new spouse as "my dad's wife" or "my mom's husband." It's pretty obvious she doesn't want to have any kind of relationship with your dad's family, so your kids should not have to call her their grandmother, either. Before you let it go, though, you should have a conversation with your dad that goes something like, "Dad, I love you, and I always will. You have made your decision when it comes to _______, and I respect your decision like an adult. HOWEVER, as an adult myself, I cannot allow her to poison my family. I am done trying to force you to be involved with me and my children. You are the one missing out on your grandchildren's life and I guess if you can live with that, so can I. I am just a phone call away when you are ready to act like a father and a grandfather." Of course, you don't have to call him and tell him this, since you are just going to, like you said, wind up crying and burning up a great deal of emotional energy. Send him a card, letter, or email and just leave it at that. Don't expect a response from him, either. That will just cause you more stress and it doesn't sound like you need anymore from him.
I keep having dreams that my dad is cheating on my mom, ok what does this mean?
It means there is something in your own personal life that you are afraid of. It has nothing to do with them. It's your subconscious trying to let you know that if you don't start paying attention, something bad is going to happen. Look around your life and see what loose ends you can tie up. The dreams will stop after that.
My stepmom is pregnant and my sister and I are both upset about it?
My dad just has two girls, me and my sister. 23 and 18. He is also a grandfather to a 1 year old. And my stepmom is now 3 months pregnant. She was on birth control and i guess she stopped using it without my dad knowing and he wasn't too happy about it. My sister and I are both pissed and I really really really do not want her to have a child with my dad. This is her first kid btw, and my dad didn't want anymore kids. Is it wrong for me to feel so pissed off about it, do you think i'll come to terms with it? helpp
