[quote=Anonymous]My mom divorced and remarried when I was around 4. I was the youngest of 7, so the others ranged from 6-18. The oldest two were out of the house (navy and married) and the boys went to live with my dad. My mom always chose my step-father over her own children, including moving 3 hrs away when I was ten and taking me with them, thus taking me away from my dad, siblings, (several of whom were married and having kids by then,) and my grandmothers. It really sucked, especially when my real dad died four years later and I barely had a relationship with him.

She has no relationship with her grandchildren, very limited relationship with any of her children and sits at home alone now that my step-father died 2.5 yrs ago. I've never understood it.

They make their choices based on who's in bed with them (and had to explain this to my 22 yr old niece when my brother recently divorced and remarried and he now chooses is new wife (#3) over his kids. I guess they do that to keep the peace at home, and I get that, but they're setting themselves up for a pretty lonely old age.

No advice, just commiseration. [/quote]
