[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, read the step moms posting in the inheritance thread or talk to anyone whose mother died and you will see that yes, this is not uncommon for step mothers to be this self serving.

That said my friend is one of the most awesome stepmothers ever and has been nothing but loving and kind to all of her children.

There are moms that happen to be step.parents and then there are a lot of the ones who are the inspirstion behind the term step monster.[/quote]

Step moms in the inheritance thread are simply saying that there is nothing wrong with spouses leaving their marital estate to each other rather than to adult children.  The OP in that thread is an adult child who resents that her stepmother will inherit her father's estate.  It's no different than any entitled biological children who are estimating joe much they will profit from a parent's death; it's despicable.  Married partners are obligated to each other, not to adult children.

As for this stepmother, this Q is so over the top that I almost don't believe it, except I have met many self-absorbed sociopaths in my day, do they're out there, stepmothers, mothers, fathers, etc.  Selfish new spouse, spineless old spouse, kids suffer.  Sucks.  It's a good thing that the maternal uncle and grandparents are in these girls' lives!![/quote]

Yes, I remember you from the inheritance thread- entitled children inheriting parent's = despicable![/quote]
