T minus two months and counting
My mom is getting remarried exactly 2 months from today. I'm still having mixed feelings on this. On one hand, I know she's really happy with Ken and I'm glad she's happy. I really feel they are meant to be together. But at the same time, its really hard for me to picture her with anybody besides my father.
D and I are flying out to Vegas to be there for the wedding. I'm trying to decide whether to tell my Dad or not. I have to tell him that we're going to Vegas. He needs to know that much in case something happens while we're out there. But I'm not sure whether to tell him the real reason we're going. I thought about just telling him we're going with Mom and Ken but then I'm afraid he'll expect D. and I to go somewhere with him in the future (I could not go on vacation with my dad; after all those trips as a kid that went bad, somebody would not be making it home this time). I probably should tell him the truth in case he finds out somehow but I don't want to be the one to tell him. I just want left out of it and I know he won't handle the news well. Its been over 3 years since Mom left and he's still not over it. I know you can't just get over something like that overnight but he won't even try to deal with it.
So what should be a fun trip to Vegas is causing me way too much stress. At least its getting me out of gray old Ohio for a week.

I guess it's always hard to say when it comes to your own parent. So best of luck with that. Have fun while you are in Vegas. Hugs

HUGS to you. My mother just got remarried a few years ago. She married in Vegas too. It's an awkward feeling to have your parents remarry when you are an adult.

My parents also both remarried a few years ago. "Elephant mama" is right, it is tough as an adult to watch your parents split up and then remarry other people. I still have a hard time with things. I know they are both happy, but in my heart I wish my parents were still together.
Oh, meant to say.. good luck in what you decide to tell your dad.
