[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My sister married someone 15 years older with three kids, then they had kids together. The kids are now in their mid to late twenties, and he's almost 60, and she is absolutely miserable, and our family is trying to help her with outpatient care, and we do regular wellness checks on her.  She needs to leave him.  I'll spare all the ugly details for her privacy, but a 15+ year age gap, older kids, a pushy ex-wife, plus all of his flaws have absolutely crushed her.  Sure, he makes a lot of money, but all of it goes out the door.  She's not his priority.  She now hates him.  And it negatively affects her parenting.  She's a shell of the person she was before she met him.  I've known her for almost 40 years and she was never prone to depression before him.  She was an intelligent, happy, fun woman with her whole life ahead of her, and now she's just sad and miserable, and the only thing I can do for her is show up and take her on walks to get her outside in the sunlight.

I’m confused by the numbers here. He’s almost 60, but the youngest kid is mid-20s, so let’s say 24. So he had this kid when he was 35, and he’s 15 years older than her. Was she a teenage bride? [/quote]

Ya, the older stepkids are in their mid to late 20s. If the younger kids were that age, we would have been able to make her leave him by now.  [/quote]
