[quote=Anonymous][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]

Start with the fact that I was told no children were allowed at their wedding.  That is why I did not go.  They show me the wedding video later on and her two young cousins, who were my age, were the ring barer and flower girl.  His wife did not want me at the wedding because I would have taken away some of my father attention from her day.   Then once they were married, she wanted to live closer to her home so they moved back to where my Dad is originally from.  Then once they had kids, my father would only see me when she said it was okay.  The times I did go up, if she wanted to go out or had plans for the two of them, I would get left with a babysitter.  So she came first always and my father went right along with it.   So that is how my father prioritized his second wife over me.  They eventually divorced.[/quote]

Obviously you are the step mom, and you sound like a very petty person.[/quote]
