I know I haven't updated in a while, but nothing has happened until tonight.
My parents have been separated/divorced since 2001 (they were married for 19 years). Since then my mom has dated a few times, but they've either turned out to be really gross or just not her type. After six years she's still not over my dad, even though during their marriage they both cheated on each other.
My dad was the one who wanted to divorce, so it wasn't that strange when he started dating after they were divorced. Well, it was weird to see him with someone who wasn't my mom, but I figured he'd date again. Even though it is kind of funny because my dad and I don't really have a close relationship so I didn't think he'd actually bring his girlfriends around me. We get along and go to hockey games and movies and stuff all the time, but we're not close enough to talk to each other about life stuff. I've been with Chris for about 3 years and it's still weird to think of hanging out with Chris and my dad at the same time.
But anyway, back to the story. So my dad was dating this woman, Robin, who I actually really liked. She was super nice and a lot of fun. But I guess they broke up a while ago. Then last year my dad started bringing this woman, Cathy, to our hockey games. She's nice, but I don't like her as much as I liked Robin. Now the only thing about this relationship is Cathy rides with my dad and I to the games, and Robin never did. So there was never a chance of my mom seeing her. Well Cathy has been riding with us since last season, but tonight was the first night my mom saw her. When my dad came to pick me up, Cathy got in the backseat and my mom happened to be out on our back porch and she saw her. My dad gave me something that I had to take back into the house and I was telling my mom what it was and of course she asked who that person was. All I told her is that her name is Cathy and when she asked if she's my dad's girlfriend I just said "I guess." Actually, my dad has never said she's his girlfriend, so they could just be really good friends, but I doubt that. So after that I hurried out of the house. I just got home about half an hour ago and the first thing my mom says to me is "so who's this Cathy?"
She sounded so depressed about it, but I don't want to get into that with her. I just told her not to worry about it and let it get to her. I know it's weird for her and all, but I know my mom. She'll let it get her all depressed and put her in a bad mood for days. I really didn't want that. I really wish she hadn't seen Cathy.
