I tell you, the step daughter was fire the whole time.. I have never dealt with a kid so angry towards me.
It is said that second marriages with children from the first have a 70% D rate. Many have this blended family fantasy but 99 times out of 100 the kids are going to come first regardless of what the truth of it all is. If both you and D are in life threatening situations and W can save only one of you, it’s not going to be you. Marriage comes and goes, which we all see here, but children are for life.
I’m not saying it’s D’s fault or the only reason, just saying that the happily blended family is often very much a fantasy. Ginger is not doing this on purpose but in the end waiting until D is 18 before doing a LTR may be the very best thing she could do to have that R succeed.
