These days there is too much nerve-racking content on Beehaw, we should post less articles and more about the life of the people here! (beehaw.org)

My father is in a relationship with my deceased mother's sister.

I don't know how to feel about this.

Firstly: Ew

Secondly: He's really old and has never been able to take care of himself, so I'm glad that someone is there with him and my aunt really is a kind and sweet person who also is single and both are really too old to date, so maybe it's a good thing.

Thirdly: Ew Ewewewew EW ew

That sounds really sweet. Good for them if they found each other. How long ago did your mom pass?

It's been a while, and he sincerely mourned her near daily for years.

There was never even a hint of impropriety at any point, and I know they were both really concerned about the family perception.

It's still weird but they seem pretty happy together and frankly there isn't enough happiness in the world to begin with.
