Anyone's parent dating/remarried? Do you have a good relationship with her/him? How did it go for you?

I honestly couldn't imagine ANYONE putting up with my Dad. God love him, but she'd have to have more patience than Mother Teresa...LOL!

my mom died in july 2002, and my dad has not even went on a date, her says he will NOT ever....i kinda wish he would meet someone and be happier with his life. its so sad to see him this sad. i know no one can ever tae the place of my mother, but some companionship for him, i believe might help him out

My Dad remarried about a year after my Mom died, and I love his new wife to death, she is just like a real Mom to me, and she never had any kids of her own, so she was really excited to have my brother and me, and my kids. I wouldn't trade her for anything.

That sounds like a great situation for you! I am SO happy it worked out for you!

My dad remarried a little over a year after Mom died. At first it was really hard because they wanted us to blend families and accept her 3 kids and their kids like we had grown up with them. And I was still really, really grieving for my mom. But it has gotten better, and now she and I get along really well. We have family get togethers where all of us are there, and it usually goes really well. I even call her just to chat about stuff sometimes.

I WISH my Mom would find someone. I don't need another Father or a father figure, but she, I think, really does need someone. She just really doesn't think anyone would want her. Dad has been gone for 10, almost 11 years now. She's only 55 now. I say too young to be alone for the rest of her life.
