[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it’s a combo:
1) women plan these things and she naturally wants to spend more time with her kids than her stepkids.
2) men do tend to forget about their prior family when they remarry.
3) Dad has specific maybe even justifiable reasons to avoid spending time with or money on OP and siblings. [/quote]

Frankly, I would have hated it if my father had remarried after my mom died. I don't think it would have worked for me, even if it had worked for him ... 
It wouldn't have been so bad if my father had a no-strings attached type relationship with a someone, but another woman moving in with him, or remarrying ... no way.[/quote]

You sound selfish. It's not about what works for you PP. It's about sharing their life with a partner. It's not a void you can fill even as a bio child. You need to live your life and stop being so entitled.[/quote]

You sound childish. Emotionally mature adults are able to have quality relationships with their adult children and new wives. This unfortunately isn’t often the case. Many adults are also very happy to remain unmarried after their partner passes. Your perspective on voids and what can fill them is a very narrow one.[/quote]
