Hello Reddit Community,

I'm sharing this online as I am not able to share it in real life with many people.

My parents have gone through a divorce recently. It was difficult to process at first, but I know my mother has had a rough time in her life and gone through many things because of the marriage. Being in a bad relationship can feel suffocating and there are quite a few things that my mother has endured over the years.

I was a little sad for my father.

My mother told me that she has met someone else and they have even gotten married unofficially in a small temple and are going to go on a foreign trip next year.

I thought I would feel scared, insecure, jealous and so on, but the one major thing I am feeling now is concern for my mother as it might be going too fast.

I would appreciate some counselling regarding what to do in this situation. I find this topic too awkward to even talk about with her or having to meet the other person.
