This, of course, is my side of the story. I'm going to try and stick to facts as I do want good, honest feedback.
I am about to turn 28 years old. My parents have been divorced for about 5 years. When I was 2 years old, my father had an affair with a family friend. Nothing came of this relationship at the time. When I was 13 years old, my father had another affair with a coworker. My mother found out and she was also told that he had previously had an affair with the family friend. Counselling and moving closer to my father's work prolonged the inevitable. After I turned 22 years old, my father asked for a divorce. He failed to mention until after the papers were signed that he was involved with the family friend again (and had been before he had asked for a divorce.) My father and the family friend married about a year ago.
Facts about the Family Friend: Known this person my entire life. Grew with the 3 children she had by 3 separate men. She was known to date married and unmarried men.
I have no desire to participate in my father's new family. I do not go to their house for any reason. Now, he will not come over to my house or meet me for dinner as I do not include his wife.
Who is being unreasonable in this situation? Myself, my father or both of us?
