I've been trying to think how my dad felt. By the time the D was final, my mom was living with a guy. That one didn't last. She ended up getting married twice and having another long-time live in boyfriend before she died 12 years ago. So that was at least four serious relationships in about about a 16-year stretch.
I never considered any one of them my dad. There was only one. Boy it had to hurt him though. My mom ruined his relationship with my sister and that kind of drove him off the deep end. He started drinking heavily, got some DUIs and had to move away.
I love my mom but she was really out to get my dad after the D.
Don't let her win. Stay the course. In the end, your sons will realize the truth.
