stepparent overstepping boundaries!!!!!!!!

This is a LEGAL INFO site. If you have a rant, take it to private messaging.

By the way: Stepparents are legal strangers to their stepchildren. That's the legal deal. Of course there are financial and emotional aspects to stepparenting. But refer to my first sentence: LEGAL INFO site.

SP- I am shocked- being reasonable like that when it's clearly uncalled for

typical

Typical response. Ego and selfishness. What's best for the child, two woman who both take an active part in raising a child, don't know each other, usually don't like each other and refuse to communicate. Bad situation. All lines of communciation should be open with anyone involved in raising a child. Yes, it does involve me. He lives in our home with me too. And it would involve a step-dad too if the wife remarried. And yet we have no rights, we are the "evil entity". No wonder there are so many divorces. Selfish people.

and one more thing- I am sorry that you are unable to have children, I really am, but if you had any idea what it is like to bear a child from your body and then turn around and have someone just waltz in expecting to be on equal footing based on the saying of vows.....well your attitude would be different

not equal, just respect

Zephyr, did you not read my origianal post. I never once expected equal rights or any rights for that matter, just respect.

Amen!
I have been a Step-mom and for a long time (9yrs) I was picking up the slack for Dad at home however I never would have dreamed of overstepping on Mom...maybe that's why now (4+yrs after Dad & I divorced) Mom still alows Kiddo and Me to have a relationship....she even calles me for help when he is being a pain in the rear(Kiddo is 15)


edit to add...sorry that wasnt LEGAL SITEish was it?...luv ya SP!

I do know this woman. And I do not interfere with their marriage. I also want what is best for my son...I never said she was an evil entity, I stated I felt she was overstepping the line filling out all my son's school and medical stuff with her as guardian/mother. The father may have custody, but I am not to be left out...and that is my battle. Faith

I appologize

I know it must hurt to be left out. I'm sorry to rant on you. You just touched a nerve and I reacted. I wish you all the best and many happy years with your child.
