What do I do???

Since your parents are not together then you will see people come in and out of your Dad's life. If his girlfriend does move out then your Dad will probably cry in private. (Most adults do when they are sad) If your Dad is not good with little kids then it is probably best that they broke up. His girlfriend has to do what is best for her and her son. (You know how you have a natural instinct to protect your little brother or sister, it's the same feeling just multiply it by a zillion when your a Mother of a child and someone is not kind to your child)

I know that you have grown attached to his girlfriend so call her up before she moves out and ask her to keep in contact with you. You will be old enough to babysit soon so you 2 can see each other then.

Your Dad will always be your Dad. He will be sad when she leaves for a little while but, the pain will go away with time and he might find someone else who is more compatable with him in some time. But, you will always see your Dad, he will make time for you. If not, then you might have to remind him that you want to see him on a more regualr basis.

It's OK to cry that his girlfriend is leaving. No one likes to lose a friend but, hopefully you 2 can talk to each other on the phone and e-mail one another to keep in contact and it won't be so bad.

Your not suicidal so would you stop freakin' saying that! ! ! People who DON'T know you will make damn sure they tell someone that you might be and trust me that's not what you want.

As for your dad's problem, why don't you try talking to him because, maybe since he loves you so much, when you tell him all you've told a bunch of strangers he might actually listen to you. He might be mean to her kid because he doesn't like how your mom had a little one. It's not your fault that he's sad, so stop thinking that because I know you are. Just sit down and have a talk with your dad. If you have any questions about what I'm saying then IM or call me.

I am sorry honey that you have to go though this! However there is nothing you can do to save there relationship. They are grown adults and they know what is best for them. Make sure you let the the girlfriend know how much you care about her. Hpefully you will still be able to see her! Also people don't have to get remarried to be happy! It's okay if your dad never gets remarried. He is free to do what ever he wants. Please talk to your dad about how you feel. Let him know you are sad and that you don't want to him or her hurt.

Take Care and I am so sorry u r going though this. Best of luck. Hang in there, it will be okay.

you have valid concerns for your dad but everyone has to be held accountable for what they're doing to another person. Maybe you could talk to your dad about your feelings. what is easier? talking now or watchign it fall apart wishing you had told him how you felt?

sorry things are so hard. why do you adore her so much when you have a good mom you live with? sounds like your dad's g/f gives you something you didnt get from your mom.

she has to look out for her son--if he's being abused physically or mentally she needs to move out. Since your dad works alot you might be more attached to her than him. Maybe you shuold tell her how you feel and the two of you could remain friends.? you might be only 12 but her son is only 5. take him into consideration too----don't be so selfish!

It is a sad shame that kids are so often in the middle of these adult issues. If your Dad was worth the trouble, he would not be loosing those close to him!

It is a shame, yes. You should try to keep in touch w/ his g/f if she does in fact leave. I hope your Dad tries to change his ways!

Try to not let this effect you too much. I understand that your Mom is there for you. Try to turn to her for support. She cares abd she is stable. Let her help lead you in this situation.

Much luck!

Isn't it past your bedtime? You have to accept that your dad has a problem and his gf shouldn't put up with him hitting her. If he cries, it's his own fault for abusing her. Talk to her and ask her to keep in contact with you. Tell her how much you love her and don't want to lose her.
