A stepfather is stomping on a covenant M. We have a covenant M. D by a court means nothing. If W were to remarry OM, she would be doing nothing more than committing legalized adultery.
As far as the teacher goes, I get your point. However, the teacher is not a covenant H or W and blood parent to the kid.
Yes me and my W tore out family apart together. But we still have a covenant M and any man that tries to step on it is not worthy of anyone's respect. I don't care how "nice" he appears to be. He is stepping into sacred territory and stomping on it. So no, I do not expect my kids to treat him with respect at all given his place in OUR family and OUR covenant M.
And if he treats my kids with disrespect, my W will handle that. She will D him. After all, vows mean nothing to her now. It won't last long.
Any man that comes into our family is nothing more than a selfish immoral evil theif. Niceness is nothing more than a disguise for the evil he is really committing against us.
