How do I handle my dads new wife?

This should’ve said “my dad knew he was married and knew my mom was sick”. Your dad was the one that stepped out of his marriage and broke his vows, not the new wife

Yes your dad was in the wrong but so is the new wife ! As a women I could never sleep with a married man , and also to know she was sick is a double slap in the face . I personally would go to my Nanas funeral but I would keep my distant from them .

It takes 2!!! It’s as much your dad’s fault as it is his new wifes.After the funeral,when you get a chance alone.Speak too them both about how you feel.Be straight up about it!

Be polite. It’s the right thing. She may not be as bad as you want her to be. It’s for Nana that you are there
It’s in the past. No one really knows the real story between your parents

Be a much bigger person than her
We all have karma and it will get her

Someone has to be the adult in the room when an event isn’t about them. It’s a funeral, not a family reunion. Mingle with folks who mean something to you and let all others be invisible. If you see your dad’s new wife coming your way, see someone you want to talk to across the room and head in that direction. Agree with others that you are there to support you dad and celebrate the life of Nana.

Be the grown up. Avoid her when you want to and when it’s impossible say nothing or cut it short and move.

I wouldn’t even go. Nana is gone. Dad doesn’t deserve to see you. You don’t need to put yourself through that.

Keep your composure for your Nana

Forgive and move on yourself. It will be much easier to be civil when you are done hating her and you just simply prefer to not have your father in your life anymore. Including his wife. It’s about nana don’t make it about anything else. There will plenty of other people there to talk to

Just look at her and walk away so she knows not to talk to you and keep doing it till she leave you alone, I wouldnt say a word to her she will get the hint after a few times of her talking and you walking, if you say anything to her she will still think she has a chance to talk and sort things
