[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I am tired being caught in the middle. I feel bad for everyone. I don't mind having my niece spend the holidays with us, we get along really well, my kids adore her. At the same time, I feel like she can't hold a grudge against her dad and stepmom forever, it's not healthy.[/quote] How is what the adults have done, "healthy?" OP, what is your relationship to the father? [/quote] We talk regularly. He is sad it has come this way. He won't outright say it but I think he married his new wife so that he wouldn't be alone. His daughter was growing up, it was clear she would not stay with him forever. He has known the woman for years, they were acquaintances, she was also a widow. He seems to have an OK relationship with her and her children. Maybe it's his midlife crisis. I personally think a longer courtship would've been more acceptable to all parties involved, including my niece.[/quote]
