[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My father prioritized his second wife over me.  Now hat he does not have to do any parenting he wants to be in my life.  When my Mom passed away, I lost two parents as she was both.

I wish I was made a priority.  No better way to screw up your kids up than to put them second to a new wife.[/quote]

What exactly does prioritizing the new wife over you look like? Presumably the "new wife" has been in his life quite a long time. It's bizarre to me how many of you are so dismissive of the "new wife" when in many situations the marriage has lasted much, much longer than the first. [/quote]

oh yeah...my father and stepmother have been together now nearly 3x as long as my parents were...and my mother continues to spew bile and talk about his "new wife" and how she is to blame for a great deal.

Not that much changed - my father was selfish when married to my mother, and remained that way with my step-mother, though they were more on the same page (cheap together) and there was much less drama.  My father hardly prioritized my step-siblings over his "first children" but then, he always prioritized himself over everyone else.  [/quote]
