[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you think the blood could have scared her and it really isn't an issue of another child but rather what happened.

If you read her original post, the SD told her outright she didn't want her to have kids. And why would she start calling the SM "bitch" if it was being scared of blood? Not criticizing your idea, but it seems unlikely. If she was afraid of blood, wouldn't it elicit sympathy?[/quote]

Empathy is taught.  If stepdaughter's parents have no empathy for OP, how can you expect SD to act differently.  She was young, should not have been told in such a graphic detail.  Dad needed to step up and be a parent.  I get where OP is coming from.  Its hard having older step kids and the parents set the tone.  If dad lets SD be disrespectful and doesn't do anything about it, that speaks volumes of him.  There is a lot more to the dynamic and the nastiness here for OP seems uncalled from.  I know if I saw that at that age, I would have gotten very upset by it.[/quote]
