My dad met a woman āonline.ā He has never met her in person. At one point he actually drove 15 hours to meet her, but when he got there it ended up supposedly being her āmother.ā I never got full details about that. On Valentineās Day she was supposed to fly to visit him but it never ended up happening. When I asked about it later he said he didnāt want to talk about it, so I assumed the relationship was over. A few days ago I asked if he was still seeing her and he got very defensive and told me it was none of my concern. Tonight he accidentally texted me thinking I was her and said something along the lines of āIām only good for my money.ā That made me worry he may be sending her money, despite previously telling me that he never had. Anytime I ask him about it, or try to point out inconsistencies he immediately gets defensive and shuts the conversation down. Has anyone dealt with a parent in this situation before? Whatās the best way to approach this without pushing him further into denial?
