I need a word of advice....


Recommended Posts

I have been living with my dad for quite some time now, about two years and he has been dating this woman for about three years. Just recently, they were on the verge of breaking up do to money matters and he had an inclination that she "starring" on a porn site of some nature. I love her and her son and daughter but whenever I turn around it always seems likes she's trying to pull something over on my dad and no matter what I always cover for her because I couldnt stand to see my dad kick them out because they're all I have. For the last 6 monthes my dad hasn't talked to me or anyone for that matter, in the household. He goes to work ( in which he is now talking about quitting), comes home goes in the basement and only comes up for 15 min. to eat dinner, in which he remains silent when he deos. We had a big discussion for about three days when he threatened them that they had a week to get out and it temporalily got resolved and now things are back to the way that they were...what should I do? all comments are greatly appriciated!!! Thanks

Maybe this not be an good answer but it might be something worth thinking about. You're young, your Dad is not. Your Dad is family and while I understand that you've gotten attached to this woman and her kids, maybe you should consider what would be best for your Dad and what would make him happy. Maybe he needs support too...after all, I take it he is divorced or perhaps your mother died...I don't know as you didn't specify this information.

 

It seems like you still love your Dad. Try and talk to him and find out what's going on inside his head.

I agree with SouthernSon. If you know this woman is not good for your Dad, covering for her for your own reasons is not very supportive of him. Don't forget that soon you will be moving out and he will have to cope with her on his own. He may not be talking to you right now because he is unhappy and senses that you are not on his side over this. Perhaps you should look at your own motives for not being very helpful to him.
