Can anyone tell me what your experience has been when BM starts dating and consequently gets remarried. Or at least focuses her attention on someone else instead of making our lives more complicated. Our BM seems to think all the step sons are her "man of the house".....she's emotionally dependent on them and hopes to keep them dependent on her as evidenced by her constant babying. Anyway....FDH seems to think that she might ease up on her shit when she starts seeing someone else....which is all fine and dandy but then we have the whole BMs BF in the boys life then taking a toll on FDH, you know, another man in the lives of his son's....gah. Nothing about step families is easy and the partners of the divorced couple are always the ones to bare the brunt of the bullshit. Anyway, anyone have any insight into this? At this point I would welcome her easing up on FDH but to be honest I don't think it will ever happen, and even if she does meet someone then he'll just end up having even more guilty daddy syndrome because some other man is spending more time with his kids than he is.
