NTA. Men struggle to cope with grief and rely on wives. Dad is running away from his grief and trying to mash a new “family” into that empty spot as fast as possible so he can pretend he isn’t as truly incapable of dealing with it like an adult as he’s realizing he is. You can go low/no contact if you want. You can try to make peace with it. You can try to force a bigger blowup. The one emotion men will inevitably allow themselves to access is anger.
