[quote=Anonymous]My kids do not like their stepmom. It is a function of her behavior toward them. She actively discourages their dad’s time with them - he dropped some visitation when they got married and the kids were very hurt by that. When the kids visit she has often arranged some adult couples visit with friends and the kids get dragged along but ignored or left at home alone. When he married her they bought a very expensive 2 br-1office condo, and the kids were old enough to understand that their dad and his wife could have chosen to use the same amount of money to buy a 3 br house and include the kids in the family.

The irony is that he accepted diminishing his relationship with his own kids and about 10 years later, she divorced him (after acquiring citizenship through him and a wife’s social security portion. So now he has no wife and not a great relationship with the kids.

Ask yourself if your girlfriend is truly welcoming to the kids, and whether she is boxing them out of their relationship with you or whether you are sending the message that you value her more than your kids. Also, is she very much younger than you - young females today in the post-me too era are much less tolerant of large age or power differences in relationships - it smacks of grooming and narcissism.[/quote]
