I don't know what to think or how to feel.
My mum is 64. She has been in a care home with early onset for the past year. Since she went in to care my dad has actively searched for female companions. I have been accepting of this. He doesn't like his own company and says he's too young to be lonely. I have said i'm fine with it but today he asked me to meet his "girlfriend".
I have said I am not comfortable with this whilst my mum is alive. He says she knows the situation but wants to meet his family. I feel I am betraying my mum to accept another woman into her role in the family.
Mum is in late stages. We don't know if she knows who we are but she smiles and walks around and often is very angry.
He has made me feel unreasonable that I expect him to attend family events and I should at least acknowledge her as his friend. I don't do family feuds but I feel strongly one way and he the other. It's one thing too many
