Rach - I don't post often but this hit really close to home for me. Your Dad is making a HUGE mistake!! When I was young (long time ago) my Dad remarried and the new stepmom was a total A** just out of pure JEALOUSY of his kids. After a few years, she was gone and he spent the rest of his life making up for the years of relationship lost with his kids.
When I married, I had a 4 yr old stepdaughter. One of the things my Dad told my husband that day was - "I love my daughter BUT never let ANYONE come between you and your kids." My Dad had learned his lesson the hard way! I hope your Dad does not make the same mistake. (And you can tell him I said so)!!
Will keep you in my thoughts for a good outcome. |
