[quote=Anonymous]My parents divorced when I was 8 and my sister was 5. My dad cheated and married the woman he was cheating on my mom with a year after the divorce was final and that was really hard. Of course I didn’t really know the circumstances until I was older, but my step mom was a horrible person and was extremely jealous of and competitive with us. She used money to manipulate us (since my dad was the one with money which she somehow controlled now).

So I guess I would say I wish either my mom or dad stood up to her and advocated for us. We went to family therapy and would tell my mom and dad how much we hated her and why yet no one did anything. Not sure why my dad could not have asked her to be nice to us. Or when she made us get jobs at 16 to pay them rent so we could learn responsibility, don’t understand why my dad just went along with it.

My parents also couldn’t be in a room together for years and years and that was hard. I think family dinner is a great idea and wish we could have done that.

All said, my sister and I are totally fine and other than a lifelong hatred of our evil stepmother no resulting issues from the divorce.[/quote]
