My stepson is an adult who is married with two children. He and his wife hate me, even though I raised my stepson from the age of 3. Our relationship was fine when he was a child but soured as he got older. He hates women who are intelligent or competent and feels that the only person capable of making good decisions in a relationship is the man. After meeting his wife, our relationship truly took a downturn. His wife is the epitome of the "Stepford Wife". She has no opinions of her own and does everything my son tells her to do, including hating me.
