[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not surprised -- the Cinderella effect is real. Most step parents do not treat children well. And that is probably an understatement. [/quote] If it's real, please provide some links with legitimate statistics/data that proves stepparents do not treat children well. [/quote] Google "Cinderella effect." This has been known for over 40 years. Step parents abuse and kill their step children at rates that are about 7 times higher than genetic parents. The original research was done by Martin Daly and Margo Wilson. Daly, M.; Wilson, M. (1985). "Child abuse and other risks of not living with both parents". Ethology and Sociobiology. 6 (4): 197–210. doi:10.1016/0162-3095(85)90012-3. S2CID 145192777.[/quote]
