My dad met her when he and my mom were still married. I know it makes my mom sad. I don't want to be nice to the girlfriend and I really don't like her but I don't know what to do. I don't want her hangin around his house all the time.

If you don't face this situation, it will only hurt you.
Your mom and dad's "romance" is really none of your business. Learn to relate to both of them as individuals---you need to learn from them at this stage of your life.
You might find in the future (as my Mom did about her Stepmother) that you are really grateful that someone is "there for" your father as he gets older. That girlfriend may save you and your Mom a lot of hassle in the future, so be "politic" and don't make an issue -- it's their life, not yours.

You make it sound like your parents are divorced and I know it stings you and your mom that he was seeing this woman when they were still together, but it's just part of moving on. It won't be so hard since you don't live with your dad. You don't have to like his girlfriend but you shouldn't be mean and rude to her for no reason. If you really don't like her and don't want to be around her, then only go see your dad when she's not there or you guys can meet somewhere without her. Give it some time though.

We are not our parents keepers, so live and let live. Yes it will be hard for your mom but she will survive, but will your relationship with your dad if you interfere? Blessings!

if you live with your mom, it should not matter to you... let your dad be happy
