In reading some of the posts I see that most people are becoming step-parents after a divorce. I became a step-child when I was 13 after my father had passed away when I was 5. Wondering if anyone else out there is in a similair situation. Did you accept your parents decision to remarry or did the children accept you? Were other children brought into the marriage? Were you disciplined by your new step-parent or do you have problems in disciplining your new step-child?
I had many issues with my mothers choice, but I think it was mostly because I wanted my dad and not someone else. But, it didn't help knowing that our new step-dad didn't like kids too much and had a lot of issues in raising his own. I became a very angry and rebelious teenager and had a lot of issues in my early 20's. I still have some to address (I'm now 31) but feel I've grown into a pretty strong independent woman. Does anyone else still feel like they are working on issues that stemmed from becoming a step-child or parent?
