This stressed out girl needs advice
Not me or my situation, I think we've gone over that enough today. 
This is about my dad. I dont know how much I've mentioned this, but my parents were separated for over 2 years and about 2 months ago their divorce was finalized. Im pretty sure my dad has been dating this woman for a while, but in the last month has decided to come clean with me. I'm pretty sure I know who she is, but Im not 100% positive and he's just mentioned her in passing because I sorta lock up when he brings it up. I know that my parents have been apart for a while and honestly, they were "apart" for years before the actual separation, but my heart says that they've only been apart for a couple of months since their divorce was final, YKWIM?
My dad has been amazing to me since my separation/divorce. I love him with all of my heart and I want him to be happy, but Im just not ready for this. Before all this with my car and my house in Navarre, my dad invited me to a fish fry this Saturday with all of our friends and some of my family and this woman. I agreed to go before he told me that she would be there. I've initially still agreed, but Im really having doubts that I can handle this right now, especially with the stress that this week has brought me, even if most of that stress was self induced.
Would you suck it up and still go if you were me? Its an all day thing and I feel like it would look worse if I made an appearance and then ducked out because its all the way in Alabama, people would question why I left. If I dont go, I want to be complete honest with my dad and let him know how much I love and appreciate him and that Im just not ready for this right now. I actually want to talk about it with him even if I do decide to go because I feel like he should know that Im not turning my back on him, but Im just needing some time. Thinking about it is just stressing me out even more.
WWYD? I think I can handle it if I need to suck it up, but I dont want to if I can justifiably not...
btw: Im posting and running for a little bit. Im about to take that much awaited jacuzzi bath.
ETA I don't want anyone to think that I never want him to date or that I'll avoid him as long as he's with a gf, actually that's the biggest point I want to make if I talk to him. It's just right now that I can't handle it, but I would never close my eyes and try to avoid it forever.

How is it that my BABY is going to be 3?
BFP-2/25/11; 8 Wk U/S-3/25/11-No HB, measured 6.5 wks; D&C
Thanks everyone. I talked to him. We are really close and he did understand. I made sure to be clear that I was not going to cut him out or anything and that I will not avoid forever. He was very sweet about it and completely put me at ease. My parents have been more awesome than I deserve through all of this. I thank God for them.
