[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Second family dudes are my least favorite. I think it’s because of growing up around enough first family kids. But now as an adult, if you have a second family I have a really hard time respecting you even if you’re a senator or a fancy lawyer or whatever. It’s a red line for me. I understand that people get divorced, but I’ll never understand the do-over family. [/quote]

Thank you.

My dad and his wife moved to another state shortly after having their kid and creating the second family.

They no-showed a family wedding.  Within a year, cut off all contact with me and my siblings (college and post college age, so not a "parenting" issue).     We never were invited or visited home in new state.   I do not think anyone there knew he had 3 kids from his first marriage.  It was if he started a completely new life, blank slate.    It's been 20+ years now and no word.  Their daughter grew up, went to college, got married and had their grandchild.   My son has never met them.       Second family dude indeed.

Wow. I am so sorry. I have no doubt this is the scenario that my stepmom wanted but we were just inconveniently too young to pull off. She did eventually figure out she could send the younger kid to relatives to get rid of him. My dad 100% would have gone along with it, while also telling himself some story about how it was our fault etc. End result was that my dad was not exactly the “second family” dad, but there was a huge difference between the older and younger kids.
