[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My father married a woman who flipped a switch on their wedding day.  My sibling and I were in our 20s, and her kids were in their 30s.  My brother and I are educated, and we are constant reminders of my mother (despite the fact that they divorced when I was a toddler) - both of which annoy our father's wife.  She made him choose, and he went along with it every step of the way.  It was her and her family or us.  We tried to fight, and continue our relationships, but she escalated her crazy and made things much worse.  Some parents have no spines, and others are insecure.  Biological children never fare well when the new parents are one of each (spineless and insecure).  It sucks.[/quote]

Oh you just reminded me of something!
When we were growing up and my dad first married his second wife, he told us that we were forbidden to mention my mom around her because she didn't like hearing about her.  We couldn't even say something like "Mom said this or that..." or "Mom bought me a new shirt." No mention of our mom whatsoever.

My sister is my parents' only biological child and my brother and i are adopted. But yeah. My dad is definitely spineless.

similar situation in our house except worse - my mother died and my stepmother was so jealous and insecure that we weren’t allowed to have pictures of her and she’d have tantrums when we talked about our previous lives. any commemoration of her death had to be with the “whole family,” not allowed to be just the biological kids.
