Doc, I'm still pissed off (for you) about her scheduling that trip!
My D18 is my H's StepDaughter. However, we've been married since she was barely 4, and he is her true "Dad". (D18's Dad and I divorced - alcoholism - when she was a baby.) It's hard enough, w/a divorce, etc... to maintain relationships. Your W could really become a pain if this is how she's going to conduct herself. My D18 hasn't seen her dad since she was 15 No matter if I like him or not, or if I think he's a decent influence or not, or if it was more CONVENIENT to not have to do the back and forth visitation thing... there will ALWAYS be something missing within her.
Your W needs to knock it off, NOW! Your kids are old enough/young enough to understand and absorb. Pisses me off.
Do ya think that struck a nerve?

The average woman would rather have beauty than brains, because the average man can see better than he can think.
