I'm sure that once the divorce is final and things settle down a little, your folks will both start thinking of their futures and there will undoubtedly be 'new people', it's human nature not to be alone. The bad part is, it hasn't even happened yet and already you have decided that you won't accept a new man in your moms life. You may or may not like the people your parents decide to see but the choice is really and truly out of your hands. If you step in and try to discourage a relationship for your mother because you don't like the man she has decided to date, you're just going to cause hurt feelings between you and your mom. I'm sure you really don't want that to happen. I realize you are just hurting now and the things you are saying come from the anger at the situation. You may even get angry at me for telling you this but it's the truth. Think about this...if you started dating a woman that your mom found to be unsatisfactory and she decided to put an end to your relationship, would you appreciate her efforts? Not likely, you would become resentful that she was trying to tell you who you could and couldn't date. She is an adult and as such, has the right to see whomever she finds attractive. I don't know how close your relationship is to her but I find it difficult to believe she would come to you for dating advice. My advice to you is to be supportive of her...unconditionally...let her make her own choices and if it turns out to be a mistake, so be it, we all make them; its called life.
