Well, let me tell you the story of my Dad's second wife....
She had 4 kids from 2 previous marriages and we all lived in an OK house that my Grandfather had financed for my dad.
Up the street about 4 houses, on the other side of the street lived my dad's cousin who was about the same age as him. He had 2 kids about my age.
One day Dad's W is gone. And, cousins wife doesn't know where her H is either. Much worry is had. About 2 days later they both show up, want divorces and pretty much ruin all their relationships with the rest of the family. All her kids end up in foster homes, I end up living with grandparents, and cousins kids with their mom somewhere.
They end up getting married and move to florida in a trailer park and live 'happily ever after' and have pretty much no contact with any family for about 15 years.
The funny part: As she got older she put on weight. When I saw her years later she looked like a SPHERE. I kid you not! Never saw someone put on weight and distribute it around their body so they became a sphere. I guess she was on a roll.....
My Dad was beter off without her, she was a b*tch and still is.
