Parents split and father has a new family

So my parents have recently split, it was kinda messy but all has settled now kinda.
My father has a new partner, who I feel he’s rushed into things with, their now engaged, moving in together etc and she has 4 children of her own, youngest is in her teenage years.

My dads taken the youngest and his partner on holiday with some friends. He’s never ever been one to holiday by the coast but he’s gone, and I’ve just seen he’s gone on all the rides with the child, which kinda upset me because when I was a kid he never did that, he told me I’d have to go on my own and he hates rides. So it was upsetting to see them all having a lovely time when I missed out on that as a child.

He’s taken some of my bedroom furniture for his new house for ‘if me and my partner ever wanted to stay’ but now turns out it’s her child’s room now and I can’t stay here nor have some of my own furniture back for our new house.

I dislike speaking to my mum about it as she’s had it tough recently with the split, bills etc (my mum called the relationship off) so I try not to mention it to her, if I’m honest we don’t speak much, she’s busy with work and keeps herself to herself so I sometimes feel very isolated like I have no family to go to at times.

Sorry for the ranting post, it’s nice to get it all out on paper

Its hard to grow up and realize that our parents have some major flaws and that our family that we thought was a tight unit is now gone.
I would encourage this to be a lesson to you ( not that you did anything wrong) to learn to be very independent. I personally have a relationship with God. So spirituality might be a source of comfort to you. It helps put your mind in perspective.

Cherish your friends and never stop trying to build on your relationships in life with the people that are most important to you. Maybe your mom needs you more than you know.
As for 👨 dads they are simple. He's still trying to impress the new family.
