[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]2nd marriage (she isn't an AP...) I was single for about 5 years after the divorce before I met 2nd wife. Married 2nd wife 7 years after the divorce. At the time I was estranged from my daughter because 1st wife wouldn't follow court ordered parenting agreement (I'd show up at appointed time and she wouldn't answer door, and court and police would not enforce the order). Eventually everything I told the judge would happen did happen (daughter tried suicide and hospital wouldn't let her go home to mom) so I got a different judge to give me full custody (it took that extreme situation for the court to listen).

Daughter moved in last year and 2nd wife has turned into a raging monster towards me and has given my daughter the silent treatment the whole time. Daughter is doing much better with me even with 2nd wifes behavior. 2nd wife seemed to be jealous of my daughter but that has turned into outright anger towards me. I'm considering divorce over it. I've spoken to daughter therapist about it and he says to dump the 2nd wife.

It is such an old trope (evil step mom) and I don't understand why she can't (doesn't want to be nice) to my kid. She is irrational about it at times and says crazy stuff like "this was your ex's plan all along to keep me from being happy"

Is there anyone out there who can explain where this crazy comes from? I guess I'd prefer to "fix" the problem rather than go through what I'm sure will be a nasty second divorce.  [/quote]

Counseling or divorce. And divorce may happen anyway given her complete lack of perspective.

I'd kick her out of the house this weekend for starters.[/quote]
