[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Been there, done that OP. My dad regularly chose stepmom over me for many years. It sucks, but try not to think it's about you. Men are idiots when it comes to the women in their lives. My advice is find a way to be in your dad's life even if it hurts to feel you are competing for his love. Don't force a competition. I feel for you though. I really do.[/quote] This is my post and I wanted to add something. One strategy that sometimes worked for me was scheduling something separate to do with just my dad, without stepmom present. What I usually came up with was meeting my dad for lunch or dinner, just the two of us. It didn't eliminate feeling inferior at the larger family gatherings, but it was at least a way of staying connected to my dad on more of my own terms. Would this possibly work for you?[/quote]
