Today, as my mom was getting ready for a date, I told her that I think it's too early for her to date, since she divorced my dad only a week ago. She then said, "Don't worry, I'm only in it for sex." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I told my mom I broke up with my boyfriend because he wanted to have sex and I wasn't ready. Her reply? "Well, you can't stay a virgin forever." FML
Today, I called my mom to see how she was doing. She quickly hijacked the conversation and said that she's signed me up for a dating site, because she feels bad that I can't find a decent man. I've been dating my boyfriend for seven months, and she's seen me with him multiple times. FML
Today, while discussing my family on a date, I mentioned that my parents are divorced. She immediately got up and left without a word. FML
Today, my mom decided the time was right to give me the sex talk. Towards the end, I had to excuse myself to the bathroom. As I came back, I overheard my dad telling my mom that I'm so unpopular, the only time I'll get laid is when I'm being put in a coffin. FML
Today, I was a bit upset to learn that my 13 year-old daughter had a boyfriend. When she noticed, she assured me that I shouldn't worry, because "it's just for sex anyway". FML
Today, My mom walked in on me and my 2 year crush about to have sex. When she saw us she said "oh I'll just wait outside, I know it wont be long anyway." FML
Today, my wife and mother of my kids said she doesn't want sex. Or a divorce. FML
Today, I realized that my mom has not had a date, or had sex, in 50 years. I've become her 'Husband-Son'. FML
Today, my baby-crazy mother expressed her concerns that I haven't conceived after a whole two months of marriage. Her advice amounted to "get divorced while you're still hot, sleep around until you get pregnant, then marry the winner." When I complained to my father, he supported her. FML
Today, I introduced my girlfriend to my dad. I thought it was a good idea at the time, at least until he took her aside for a private chat. During the chat, he told her all about my two previous marriages and advised her to "get out while you can". FML

It could be her way of coping, sadly. I'm sorry OP. .-.

As much as it sucks for OP, dealing with her parents being divorced, the mother can do what she wants without having the blessing of her daughter. That being said, the mother should still take into consideration her daughter's feelings. It's a two-way street, ladies and gentlemen.

Exactly. A divorce is hard on the whole family and the parents need to be considerate of their children's feelings as well. Especially when dating other people. For instance, I heard of a man who was getting remarried and chose to get married on the 1 year anniversary of his wife's death (or his dead wife's and his marriage anniversary, I can't remember which but I'm pretty sure it was the first one). Although it was his right to do that and get married on that day, he should've had the curtesy to think of his older kids feelings and think that maybe that would make this already quick marriage even harder on them.

The divorce might have been finalized last week but it's very likely they've been making their peace with it for months or even years. Personally, I don't see anything wrong with dating even before the divorce goes through. In my mind it's not cheating if the papers of intent have been served.

perhaps not in your mind, but there could be legal or financial consequences if a person starts dating before the divorce is final. some states can allow that to be used as evidence of adultery.

Fortunately I'm in Canada where adultery is not a criminal offense. At best she can counterfile for adultery or bring it up, but since it's /after/ the papers were filed it will be very difficult to show that it affected the marriage in any way.

This. My mothers boyfriend and her started casually dating before he got the divorce papers. They already had separated and they were dragging it out(the woman was a horrible human being to say the least) so why shouldn't they have dated? A lot better than the excessive drinking he did before to try to deal with it.

I completely understand. My dad started dating before he even served my mother with divorce papers. It sucks, especially when they won't listen.

That is so true and very well respected. My ex kept telling me she needed to be alone after we broke up and if eight years didn't teach me anything then idk what to say but I know for sure the last thing she wants is to be alone....at least your mom is being honest, my hat goes out to her.

Even though it's only been a week for you, they both probably knew it was coming for quite awhile and are ready to move on. I know it isn't easy, but everyone deserves to try and find happiness.
