This month it will be two years since my father died. I miss him terribly. He was such a strong person in my life and had been pretty angry and jumpy since he passed.

I know that he is in a better place and I feel that he is around me letting me know he loves me.

My parents were married for 50 years and where my big problem is that while I lost my father, I also lost what I knew of my mother.

I know that she has been through a lot. I believe she is HPD, so no one grieved more than her. No one lost more than her. She was the victim in all this. She really didn't acknowlege that her kids were having problems too.

I'm lucky that I have a very caring and wonderful husband that listens and talks to me.

My sis is pretty much in denial of the whole thing and doesn't want to talk about it even when I reach out to her.

And the kicker is that my Mom is now dating and serious about someone else. My Mom changed from this one person that I grew up with to someone that I don't even want to claim being related to.

She says that she doesn't want to be lonely that she misses being part of a couple, but to pick the person that has latched onto her?? Its really kinda scary.

Has anyone else had to deal with their other parent going absolutely bonkers?
