Parents getting a divorce is probably not something she will get over soon. It can get better if she lets it.

None of this is her fault. The thing she is probably thinking in her mind is this. Mom has a new boyfriend, so her and dad probably aren't getting back together. She probably had hope they would. Reality is setting in.

She doesn't have to like moms new boyfriend, or dads girlfriend one day. She does have to try and get along with them. Her moms boyfriend is not the cause of the divorce so she shouldn't blame him. She should be happy perhaps that he is helping mom move on.

So, in a way she is being selfish. Mom deserves to be happy too. Tell her to just be polite to him, she doesn't have to like him, yet she doesn't need to feel guilty if she does either. :)
