We are in a culture which usually pits us against each other. Sometimes it's deserved - sometimes it's not. Either way, it's unfortunate, sad and hard. <br /><br />As a step-mother, I'm learning that love and Mr. Thompson and Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17776375290138087387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97117424991901100.post-44880060662674611942015-03-27T18:34:48.072-07:002015-03-27T18:34:48.072-07:00I am sorry you are in this situation, and I hope y...I am sorry you are in this situation, and I hope your father gets better soon, so that it's easier for you to contact him without having to go through her. <br /><br />I can relate some... I never met my MIL, but dh's father remarried about a year after the two of us got married.

I don't care how old the children are in a divorce/remarriage situation, the job of the step-parent is to help protect the parent-child relationship.

It is pretty sad and pathetic that she is being selfish. I am sorry you have to deal with her. I hope your dad makes a speedy recovery and you can resume your ability to bypass her.

Some people are just plain difficult and you honestly can do nothing to please them. She certainly sounds like one of those people. Your father is sick and having to deal with her on top of it must be extremely frustrating.

For fear of hurting or alienating my father, I can't do the things I would normally do in a situation like this, like tell the person off or just cut them out of my life. It makes it really difficult for me.Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08872513410814268769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97117424991901100.post-91690158599114733772015-03-25T13:03:22.378-07:002015-03-25T13:03:22.378-07:00I'm sorry, that's a difficult situation to...I'm sorry, that's a difficult situation to be in. She sounds a bit like my mom. It's really hard being in a relationship with someone who just won't follow the basic rules of civilized behavior or behave like a reasonable human being. People often offer me "solutions" for dealing with my mother, all of which I know won't work because her behavior is completely sunflowerchildehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15209334933886664383noreply@blogger.com
