Witnessing a parent's remarriage--though such unions are increasingly common--can feel awkward, even unnatural, to grownup kids. "As a child, you don't understand the courting years of your parent's life," says Amanda Dow, 31, whose father Wayne Gilstrap started dating two months after her mother died in 1997.
