[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sure, why not be happy for them. How is it affecting you?[/quote]

It affects you because you are very rarely still treated as your parent's child. They are focused on a toddler and you're "all grown up".  Men are not good with this.[/quote]

How does it not:
-additional heirs to your dad's estate, reducing your future share
-future estate also reduced by the education, college and overall cost of those children-- this affects grandchildren too since there will be more of them
-possible total disinheritance if the 2nd wive comes sole heir after he passes
-kids who may have better lives than you ever did bc he is wealthier now and also more available
-reduced loyalty since you are "done"
-dividing up the holidays 
-stigma and reduced ability to attract desirable mate since one's parents are no longer married to each other 
-graduations and weddings become occasions where you have to keep mom and step mom away from each other

It truly sucks.[/quote]

And don't forget, your parent DGAF about his grandchildren because he's occupied with his new family, which he's too old to parent effectively so it wears him out. Fun times. Happy.[/quote]
