Gr, I kind of know what you are going through. When I was 15, my parents divorced. My dad quickly moved in with his work partner, Celina. They were married within a year or two of the divorce. My mom was still sad over the divorce. I hated Celina. I was so mad about my dad being with her.

I did not talk to my dad or give Celina a chance until I was almost 20. Once I finally did, I realized that Celina was nothing like my mother. She did not replace my mom, but instead became my best friend. I realized that she truly made my dad happy and that is what counts. I really regret missing out on those few years of our friendship and not talking to my dad for so long.

Celina treats my son like her own grandchild. She's one of the first people I call when I have a problem. I've come to learn that she isn't a bad person just for loving my father.
