This is an I-Heart podcast. Guaranteed Human. My widowed mom wants her boyfriend to join the family vacation. Fine. Vacation canceled. I mean, think about it. Like, is he paying him for drinks? Is he? He's got to pull his weight. He's got to pull his weight over here. I can't just be dicking down my mom bro there's a cost there's a cost come on now every pump i want payment

pump payment baby oh goodness my dad lost his one and a half year battle with cancer one year ago

april 22nd and only 62 years old.

He and my mom were married for 31 years.

The few months before my dad got sick, he and my mom were not on great terms and were

contemplating divorce.

Yikes.

Guy got enough to deal with and that is divorce. Absolutely.

However, through my dad's diagnosis and extreme ups and downs of treatment, they came together,

squashed some of their issues and my mom was there to care for my dad every step of the way.

I miss him every day. Me and my mom had always been pretty close, but since my dad died,

I feel like I'm seeing and talking to her less and less these days. And it makes me sad.

In August of 2022, four months after my dad passed, my mom started seeing someone. She'd call him

her friend slip in mentions of him in conversation, but I personally

wanted nothing to do with him.

Still don't.

I thought it was too soon and told her so.

Four months is pretty soon.

Pretty soon for.

Especially to like introduce it.

Yeah.

You know?
