Gestalt's Blog

A question for those inclined to answer

Angel37's blog turned into a 100+ monster so I thought I would ask my question separately.

The question has absolutely no meaning, I just get curious about the way people think, what motivates people etc (I'm am really kind of a dork that way)

Some posters thought the letter Angel posted was ok

Some thought it was ok but a touch condescending (et al)

Some thought mom was being a martyr

Some thought mom blamed stepmom for everything and that was unfair

From the other side

Many of you are the wives of custodial fathers, some just wonder about how mothers think.

I found this article to be so on point that I wanted to share it for those of you who are interested.

Family Rights movement

Are there any members here who are involved with the various family rights movements across the country? There is a slight tone that the spouses weren't treated fairly by the system....

I know that as I step parent I tried really really hard to keep the peace. After a few initial bumps, things went smoothly. I was just wondering how many here are on amicable terms with the spouses ex, or even not necessarily amicable terms....even just peaceful.

For any who are interested- these same issues apply to steps as well

My SD

FSD is now 18, her dad and I split up almost 5 years ago. But Steph and I have always remained close. Since dad and I split...Being FSD's sm was easy. Her dad wasn't horrible- we just didn't work out. Her mom wasn't horrible, she just had her own issues that she somtimes struggled with. Her mom was actually quite friendly after she realized I was not interested in taking her place.

Assumptions???

I think I now understand the unofficial rules of this site- the biggest obviously being I should never make any assumptions about any of you based on your own words and your own descriptions of your behavior, but that everyone is free to make assumptions about me no matter how petty or unfounded only because they don't like the content of what I have to say, even when your comrades agree with some of what I have to say.
