Why did your dad leave your mom?

Another woman, but mainly cause she was crazy and he couldn't deal with her anymore.
She has always had some mental and depression issues. Plays the victim, etc.

Well he must not be making her toes curl right then. Guess your dad put it to her pretty damn good.

3.50 years
Just kidding.
Actually about 6 or 7 years to be cordial again.

Typically if the kid turns out trashy, the parents were likely trashy too... so I have no doubt that your parents are trash.

So what is your excuse for being a heroin addict?

Yes, she did go to one for a little bit right after the divorce.

I see what you did there

Your dad seems like a smart guy.

Hmmm…
My parents never divorced
But I remember begging my mom to divorce my dad when I was a teen
He was a monster
Physically and verbally
Anyway
My mom was submissive and though I still love her immensely
I harbor a bit of anger for her lack of strength in standing up for us when we were kids

I feel bad for her 6-year boyfriend. Yeah, she needs therapy and you need to set boundaries. It’s really toxic to not only remain obsessed with your ex, but also to bring another person, who probably just wants a normal relationship, into the dysfunction.
You may want to have an initial conversation about it with her. Tell her you love her but it really bothers you to be put in the position of feeding her information about your dad, or hearing negative things about him. Tell her it upsets you and ask her to please stop.
It’s probably become so much of a habit that it will be hard for her. So, when she inevitably does it again, i would recommend starting nice. She says something negative, change the subject. She asks for some detail about his life - say you don’t know, then change the subject. If she continues, politely remind her of what you talked about, followed by a hug or a nice word. If she still continues, be blunt or leave/say you have to get off the phone. Hopefully you won’t get to step 3.

Parents had 4 kids and divorced after 34 years. It was only a couple of years ago so its still early stages. Its been a complete mess. Looks like my dad is going to marry his secretary. She's older than he is (I think) and unattractive enough that all I can come up with is thats what he thinks he deserves. But my Uncles tell me he's been much happier, so I hope he can live this last part of his life with more peace.

Beat advice here. Would you allow a stranger to disrespect one of your parents? Why allow the other to?
Better advice than that. NEVER get involved or take sides in another couples relationship issues. This goes double/triple/infinity if its your parents.
