I have already known about my dad having another woman aside from my mother, in fact, dad and mom have been separated long long ago.. the feeling of anger was there but it died down as time passes by..at least i thought so.. i thought i have forgotten about the situation..and i haven't seen dad for a long while. Until that time when i saw my dad again and that was also the very first time i saw him together with his other woman!... it's a different feeling.. it's irritating! It's like i wanted to forceably grab him, literally pull him away from the other woman.. Knowing about the situation is making me feel angry but actually seeing them together is really making me mad! Wait.. my story isn't finished yet, after seeing them, i took control of myself and of course didn't grab him.. i just forced myself to smile and talked to him peacefully. :)

hey look at the positive side... ur dad has atleast seperated from ur mom. he's not ditching ur mom!!! now tht he is free he can do whtever he likes!! if u dont admire it.. spell it out to him or just stay out of his busines! u feeling angry about it is natural coz u cant c ur moms position being taken by sumone else.. but even he has a life and even he needs a partner!

well, i know.. i wished him to be happy too.. but i guess it is natural reaction for a daughter to feel angry knowing and seeing dad with other woman.. i feel that way but you see, i didn't act out my anger.. its just that when i am hurt, i feel angry.

Livvy your feelings are natural, it is human to feel unhappy when we see our parents with someone else, and it is ok to feel anger, but in time the feelings will fade, just try to enjoy the time you have to spend with them as life is to short to be angry, also sometimes its cool to have two sets of family.

having two sets of families...as in in laws and parents is ok... but ur parents and their partners....not that acceptable atleast by me!
