Re: Step mom 2
Hey KC. Just wanted to say that I think you've done an amazing thing.
I was waiting to hear how it all turned out too and my best wishes were with you. Like a few others, I ignored your first thread for a while thinking it would be something negative but I was really glad I read it in the end. I think it's very bold that you did it so publicly, I wasn't expecting that but I think it was a great idea, shows solidarity and sends out a message. I'm sure your ammie really appreciated that too, you could have just made up with her and kept it secret but you guys didn't :)
I pray that your dad's family don't try and cause too many problems for you. My phupoo's sound exactly the same as yours and my father is the youngest sibling. They were like mothers to him too - he's always respectful and doesn't fight with them (like his brothers do) but he doesn't take any of their BS either.
Your dad doesn't need to start anything with her but he shouldn't take it too. Have a talk with him and tell him that next when she phones he should just let it in one ear and out the other. When she's done he should just be like 'She is the mother of ALL my children and she deserves their respect.' And end it there.
