Today, I learned my 40 year old father is marrying a girl barely a year and a half older than me. She told me not to be afraid to call her mom. I was torn between punching her in the face and vomiting. FML

Either for money or other reasons that we don't know about.

That is foul. Punch the hell out of her, then punch your idiot father as well. God that's disgusting.

Would the OP have preferred her dad bring home a guy his own age?

you're just creeped out because his new young wife is actually ( and obviously) your sexual surrogate. he might even slip up a few times and call her by your name........

If that's the case, I'd privately confront your dad about it, tell him how it makes you feel, tell him that she said that to you, tell him that you feel belittled and uncomfortable, and basically ask him to choose between the two of you. No respectable, loving father would choose a fling over his own daughter... and if he does, it's not worth staying with your family anyhow. OR, take advice from #153.

That's messed up. People- Imagine having a mom somehow leave your life, and then your dad marrying someone who could be your best friend. Imagine her saying, "Call me mom!" It's mentally scarring for the OP. Hell, they probably could have graduated high school together! I give props to your dad for picking up such a young -insertwordhere-, but I guess he didn't take your feelings into consideration, or if he did, he thought, "Oh they'll be BFFS since they're so close in age!" and didn't find that creepy. I'd curse my dad out if he married someone so close to my age.

You know what? Maybe he found someone he loved. And maybe when your wife has left/died you're not going to dump someone who makes you happy because your ADULT child doesn't like her.

The dad has to respect his daughter's feelings. She WAS in his life first. The least they could do was talk it over.

The daughter may have been in his life first, but we're talking about his PARTNER. I married a man considerably older than me. Yeah, his kids had a problem with it, his son tried that "me or her" bullcrap, and guess what? Hubby told him to either accept it, or not be a part of our lives. It took a while, but they got over it. Now, it was entirely inappropriate for the woman in question in the FML to say what she did. I'd hate that bitch, too.

Why would you **** up a family like that? That is bullshit, honestly. Kids only have their parents and when someone comes and threatens that family it's hell. I get you love him and all, but did you really have to do that?

Hm, maybe because his kids were already out of the house by the time I met him. It's not ******* up a family. He was miserable because he'd been alone for so long because every time a woman came into his life, whatever their age, his kids "disapproved", the WOMAN felt threatened, and she took off. This is why young children today are such *****: people here supporting the idea that a parent should bend to their every whim. THAT is bullshit.

As an adult child of a man who married a woman only 2 years older than me... I have to say "kiss my ass!" Unless you've had your father basically cut you out of his life because you won't let this woman who is YOUR age wants you to treat her as an authority figure, then you can talk sh*t about it! No one should have to be a choice for their parent(s) at any age! Regardless of the ages involved once a parent, always a parent.

Most people seem to be objecting to the age difference, which is quite frankly none of the OP's business. Someone asking the OP to call her mom is offensive because of the OP's feelings towards her real mom, and possibly her dad's treatment of her.

My only problem with this is with the bitch face asking you to call her mom. As for people saying eww, welcome to the real world. Unless she's under 21, this isn't icky. I used to date a guy 22yrs older than me whose youngest child was older than me with 5 years; it was the best relationship I ever had: he stayed out of my hair. Maybe OP's "mother" is into older men...not taboo in this day and age,you people!

What a dumbass, why would she even say that? Did you ask her if she needed mothering from someone her age a year and a half ago. Ha
