[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those girls are never coming home to visit with step monster there.

What an awful thing - girls probably didn't even have time to grieve for their mother before monster moved in.

Dad - you suck.[/quote]

Don't know why the Dad is getting a pass here.  If he wanted to remarry, he needed to find someone who would embrace joining the existing family and shared the existing values, eg the value of a private education.  Falling in love is simply not enough in this type of situation.  Why did he remarry someone who clearly does not share his interest in his daughters?

A colleague of mine married someone with a child for whom he had partial custody and she would complain constantly about his time away from her for doing things like being a boy scout leader and going to weekend camp outs with his son instead of spending the time with her.

I blame him for marrying someone who was so uninterested in his son and who had so much antipathy towards him.  Not that she was a gem of a stepmom.[/quote]

He picked the wrong woman.[/quote]
