[quote=Anonymous]I don’t. She doesn’t want that. In fact, she did everything she could to cause distance and strife between me and my dad. She wants her own children, herself, and my dad to be the family unit, and she’s largely accomplished that. My mom died when I was a teen. But even though my case is extreme, other people I know who acquired stepparents that didn’t try to push them out still experienced the situation in which the new spouse really wasn’t that bothered about forging a relationship. It might be different if your parent married them when you were little, but if they came into your life as an adult, they probably don’t care much either way and just want a cordial relationship with you, not over the top attempts to make them fee “like family.” [/quote]
