not sure
Quote From: heather81Four years ago my father passed away from brain tumors. He was 49 and I was 20. My dad and I were always very close. A month prior to his passing I was taking care of him while my mom worked and I discovered due to his suspisious behavior that he was having and affair on my mom who he had been married to for 20 years. I was completely shocked. I knew i had to tell my mom but that was one of the hardest decisions ive ever had to make. He was dying and this was the last of his time on earth, i really didnt want to hurt my mom that way. But I told her and she was crushed. We both continued to care for him and I realized that i had to forgive him for what he did before he died or i wouldnt be able to live with myself. I forgave him but to this day i wonder if i made the right decision. I made peace with my dad and told him how much I loved him before he died, i like to think it was the 28 tumors in his brain that caused him to choose to have an affair but I just dont know. It was just his four year anniversary of his death and its still hard everyday. In addition my mom is remarrying on Saturday so im trying to be happy for her but deep im hurting. NOt that i dont like the guy just that its not my dad.......Any advice would be appreciated 
Thanks  Hi Heather, I just lost my mom 2 months ago so does it get better i dont know the answer to that but I say to be srong because i know it hurts. I also was thinking maybe you can help me with something how long was before your mom starting dating again? Because since my mom death my dad started to things he didnt usually do. And startinting to recieve more privte phone calls than usually . Im sort of upset about the whole thing because i remember him holding my mom hand when she died and telling her that he would never marry again and there is no woman that can take her place and then now he out dating.( I know he said he wouldnt marry and nothing about dating) but i am very upset about this and I know that it may because he miss my mom and he is lonely but i probably could and would accept it better if my mom grave wasnt still fresh while all this is taking place. so I say that to say this would i be out of place if i mention my feelings toward this to him? keep in mind I am a very mature married 23 years old and know how address him in very respectful manner. or should i leave it alone and let him grieve in his own way? kimmie1
