[quote=Anonymous]I was in my early 30s when my parents divorced. My father’s health started declining a few years later and he passed about 10 years after their divorce. After my father’s passing, my mom re-married and that’s all well and good, but she tries acting like we are this blended family, when that dynamic isn’t really applicable when the “kids” are all in their 40s with families of their own. I finally had to tell her after 1 too many attempts to re-create family Christmas traditions, I appreciate that they are your family now and that they are nice to you (they all live in the same city, my brother and I do not live there and I am 7 hours away) but they are not my family, I barely know them. As another poster said, she also has to realize that when something happens to her husband I will of course be sad for her, but I will not be caring for him, etc. [/quote]
