I received a phone call from my father asking me how I would feel if he asked my mother out on a date. It took me by surprise and it kind of infuriated me. Here's the background.
My dad at 19 married my stepmother because she was pregnant and their families made them marry. My father at that time was mad at my stepmother and had to grow to love her. Time goes on they have 2 kids. Later on my father meets my mother and they have me. My stepmother takes me in as her own and introduces me as her daughter to everyone. Throughout my childhood my dad continues to creep and my stepmother stays.
Two years ago my stepmother passes away. My dad has done really good the last two years and recently he keeps inquiring about my mother. And I just respond she's okay. The other day my son's school had a grandparents day. Both of my parents show up. Of course, my mother shows up fly because her and my son took pictures. I figure this is where this all stems from.
Today when my father called and asked if he could ask my mother out on a date I kind of dismissed it because I know my mother would say no. But, as he's saying it to me I'm just thinking how messy he sounds. And to me I feel as though this is a total disrespect to my stepmother. She loved him, she took me in and she stayed with him for 40+ years until her last day. It really makes me look at him in a different light.
Do you think I should be upset over this? Or, is he just lonely and my mother is familiarity? Please respond.
