[quote=Anonymous]One of my parents remarried when I was 12. The other had a live significant other from when I was 13 until when I was 17, and ultimately remarried someone else when I was in my 20s. I don’t consider myself scarred by their divorce or remarriages, and I have good relationships with my parents and stepparents. My stepsiblings were similar ages when our parents remarried. They are not as well-adjusted. They bullied me throughout middle and high school, and to this day behave like brats: throwing tantrums, giving us the silent treatment, sending passive aggressive gifts, despite being in their 40s. They only talk to their dad when they need money. But I don’t think their behavior stems from the remarriage itself, and instead comes from crappy parenting: mom constantly unloaded her feelings about dad on them, and dad was overly permissive because he didn’t want to be the “bad guy”.[/quote]
