[quote=Anonymous]OP here.  I would never say "Cinderella" out loud, it was just an analogy that popped into my head, as a common point of reference.  It is not really like that.  I forgot how literal people are on this board, frankly.

My preference is not to apologize, but I am not adamant (about not apologizing).

I do *not* expect to see dad without his wife.  Clearly the wife is here to stay.  I call her by her first name, all is well in that regard.

I do *not*, at my age, and at his age, expect him to choose over his wife.

My children are grown (teen and college).

Yes, therapy is in order.

Hopefully we are clear now?

I think part of what is bothering me is that the wife is very status conscious, and that negatively affected my upbringing (contrary to inclination); and I might be a bit jealous of my sister and stepmother being elevated above me constantly.

While I am ashamed to admit this, and am addressing it in therapy, I believe it is the underlying issue. I was hoping for input by daughters who are in similar situations.  I am appreciative of those who have contributed with real life stories, thank you.[/quote]
