Hi Im Bailey im 17 years old and my step dad of 13 years passed away on July 4 of this year of pancreatic cancer he was diagnosed a couple weeks before christmas of '07 and made it to July '08. Him and my mother were married for only 3 yrs but together for 13. He was the only man in my life as a father figure, as my own father is not around. But ever since he passed my family has fell apart, my mom has pushed away his children and his side of the family, and only 2 weeks after he passed my mother had a new boyfriend. Its bad, i know. I find it disrepectful. But my mother has developed a drinking/drug problem since he passed. I just wanna know is the new boyfriend and drinking her way of grieving?? I just feel she has no respect for her husband or any at all she has pushed me and my sister away too i just need to know if this is normal or if she needs help. She has hit rock bottom. Any advice? Thanks for reading. Bailey
