My dad is getting remarried to someone I barely know- what should I do?
Post Body

My parents have been divorced for many years now, I am okay with them having boyfriends/girlfriends since Iā€™m ā€œusedā€ to it by now. Unfortunately though, my father (M/45) is getting remarried to a woman (F/35)whom he has been seeing for 2 years, and who has done absolutely nothing to get to know my younger brother and I. She rarely talks to us (she lives with us). I confronted my dad and explained how I do not support his marriage with this woman, and he basically blamed her absence in my life on me because I ā€œdonā€™t come out of my roomā€ā€¦ when in truth, even when I do come out of my room she still ignores me. I just find it all odd. My dad isnā€™t the romantic type, he says that theyā€™re getting married because itā€™s Godā€™s will. I simply cannot wrap my head around this. What am I supposed to do? Accept and act like everything is okay when in truth it is absolutely not? Iā€™m stuck! Please help before I go insane!!!

We are a blended family. My oldest daughter did not have a good relationship with my new wife for a lot of the same reasons. Daughter would not spend much time out of her room and when she did it was to talk to me and treated my wife like a stranger. My wife always felt awkward and judged by my daughter. They never really addressed it. My daughter is now in the process of moving across the country and the best/worst thing she said during her last visit was confessing to my wife that she thought she was a good mom and that she (daughter) should have told her sooner. They had a good cry and have been texting more. Donā€™t leave it just to her to reach out. Itā€™s awkward for adults too. Find common ground and at least try to be supportive. If things donā€™t work, at least you know you tried. Sorry you are going through this.
