Title says it all. My dad cheated on my mom a year ago, they were trying to fix things but he's been messaging the other woman the whole time so they're getting a divorce.
I'm trying to keep a relationship with my dad, it was an act out of depression and my mom was very absent and, while none of that is an excuse by any means, just because he's a bad husband that doesn't mean he hasn't been a wonderful father.
My main problem in this moment is that I don't think I can be okay with him if he continues to see this other woman. He's 51, and this other woman is 26. She lives across the country and he met her in a bar. Apparently, he's going to fly her out to see him soon and it makes me feel really sick and disgusted.
My parents are in the process of separating, and I know some people date new people during the process. However, this is the woman he cheated on my mom with and I can't believe he wants to get better and improve himself, which he claims he does, if he keeps up this relationship.
I can't believe this is a genuine relationship, given the age difference and circumstance. My siblings and I want to tell my dad we can't forgive him unless he stops talking to her. Is this an unfair thing for us to do? Is this relationship not as gross as I think it is?
Tl;dr- dad cheated on my mom with a woman half his age, want to fix the relationship but can't be okay with the other woman.
