She’s Refusing To Meet Her Dad’s New Girlfriend Because She Views The Woman As A Homewrecker Who Caused The Divorce Of Her Parents By Having An Affair With Her Dad
After this 24-year-old woman’s father filed for divorce, she found out that her dad had actually cheated on her mom throughout their marriage.
Thankfully, the divorce process did go smoothly. Well, as smoothly as it could.
“But it was highly emotionally taxing for both my mom and I,” she recalled.
Since then, her dad has been living with his affair partner– who is now his girlfriend– and they even recently purchased a home together.
So, her dad has actually been trying to get her to meet his girlfriend and visit his new house. That way, his girlfriend can cook for her.
Quite frankly, though, meeting her dad’s new girlfriend– who essentially tore apart her parents’ marriage– is going to be really difficult. So, she isn’t really on board.
For context, she does already know her dad’s girlfriend, just in a different sense. Apparently, the woman was actually a family friend who went to the same church as her and her parents.
Still, she’s not sure how she will react to seeing the woman in a much different context, and she’s concerned about what might happen.
“I’m worried about a mental breakdown, which would be embarrassing for not only me but for my dad,” she revealed.

And even though it sometimes feels like she has forgiven her dad and tried to remain civil, she’s not sure if she’s truly gotten over his actions deep down.
She admitted that she still harbors a lot of resentment toward him for what he did. Still, she’s trying her best to move on and rekindle the remains of her relationship with her father.
“He doesn’t partake in the day-to-day happenings of my life as much as my mom,” she explained.
“I didn’t want to take what’s left of a father-daughter relationship away completely, though, because it felt morally better to have someone of your own blood that cares for you despite everything that went on.”
Regardless, she’s not sure that she can accept her dad’s girlfriend into her life because she honestly views the woman as a “homewrecker.”
So now, she’s been left wondering if refusing to meet her dad’s girlfriend after what happened would be justified or simply the wrong thing to do.
Can you understand why she isn’t comfortable meeting her dad’s girlfriend? Would you want to get to know your dad’s affair partner better after your mom was so hurt by the cheating? What would you do if you were in her shoes?
