[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, child of first marriage here. 
  
Spousal relationship of second marriage came first, and was very apparent once parent and step-parent had their own child.     One by one, my siblings and I were made to feel like outsiders.

None of us "children from Jim's former marriage" have been in the picture for decades.

As a parent, I always wonder how my dad could let this happen to each of us (we are all in different US geographic locations, have different personalities, different timing and reasons of phasing out communications).    To this day, still stuns me.[/quote]

My Dad and step mom uninvited me to their wedding when I was in first grade. Took down all the photos of me, didn't include me on Christmas cards (but did include their subsequent children) etc. I hear you. I will never forgive my dad for this, and he will never see how this was wrong. We've talked about it and he says, "well (Step mom) is on one side and you are on the other." I need more xanax.[/quote]

This is awful. PP, you deserve better from your father.[/quote]
