  1. Thank you so much for your responses. It really means a lot. It is hard to be able to see clearly or even think clearly and so I just needed to get genuine feedback.
  2. My dad passed away a year and a half ago and my mom started dating someone 6 months ago. I have not met him yet as we do not live close to each other. My mom invited him to come with her to my house for a weekend trip on my daughters birthday. I had a very open conversation with her on the phone recently and told her that I was happy for her that she has found someone that makes her happy. I went on to say that I am just not ready to have him come to family holidays yet, and especially not ready to meet him for the first time on my daughters birthday for an entire weekend. I did say that I do want to meet him and that I would be willing to meet them half way to go to lunch or dinner, so I can begin getting to know him better. I tried to explain to her that I am still trying to process through everything and I need more time to get to know him before we start doing holidays together. Now my mom is upset with me. I am not sure how to handle this. When my dad died, my mom was ready to move on very quickly. I have respected her right to see other people and go through grief at her own pace, now I need her to listen to and respect my needs. I was given advice by another family member that I just need to deal with change and do what makes my mom happy. I don't feel like my needs are being heard. I don't want to be unreasonable, but I am still dealing with heavy grief and seeing my mom with someone else so soon is a painful reminder of what I have lost. I feel like I am being pushed and pressured into doing something I am not ready for.
