step parents

I would say tough luck and if your daughter's father is caught in the middle then he will just have to make alternative arrangements to see his daughter somewhere other than where his wife is. It is the right of every child to know who their parents are, and that included BOTH mother and father, and that is what you should be telling him. Is your daughter the only child you had together and if so, possibly the stepmother is jealous of your past relationship. Good luck to your daughter.

I think that your ex's wife needs to grow up and realize that she married a man who already has a family! If she loves him then she needs to learn to accept the people that he loves, not try to change him and she should not try to place herself between a father and daughter. Shame on her!

How does the father feel? This girl in only 5 give me a break. I think the stepmom needs a reality check. I am sure she knew he had a daughter before they married. If she did not want to be a stepmom then she should have stayed single. Kids are a part of marriage.

That's gotta be tough for you guys to be going through. when I was a little girl I was such a daddies girl. most girls are.. thats very selfish of this lady.. I think she is just jealous.. whether its because she is YOUR daughter or because it's another female he has to share his love with and she can't have him all to herself.. she needs to get over it and grow up.. I hope that he is a real man and that he keeps in his daughters life instead of letting her take him away from his own child.. I hope she don't have any kids of her own acting that way.

I would say that this is outrageous! It is not her place to make that decision or pressure him to make that decision... it is stepparents like this who give the rest of us all a bad name! We are not all like this!!!!! I would be outraged if my hubby even THOUGHT about giving up his relationship with his kids... it would disgust me and I am not sure if I could even be with him if he made that decision. She will have a lot to think about later on down the road... sounds to me like she is just insecure with the relationship... also makes me wonder if it is so much your daughter that has caused this, or the thought of him having continued contact with you?

that is so sad and I hope your daughters father wont allow someone to dictate his relationship with his child. I am a stepmom and have been since Alicia was about 2- I bonded with her and took time to get to know her, she is now married and expecting her second daughter. I value this relationship cause we are close and she calls me her other mom and has said she appreciates all I bring to her life. I dont even call her a step daugher cause I feel she is mine,and her kids are my grandkids. This stepmom of your daughters is missing out. Kids are such a blessing!Best of luck to you Hun!

That is crazy. If he still loves her after she has made this clear then there is something seriously wrong. I mean if she wants to be with him and love him then she needs to accept his child(ren) too.

She sounds like one messed up chick! Keep fighting, good luck

It sounds like this woman is not very secure with herself. She wants your daughter's father all to herself. If he does this he really isn't much of a person. It angers me so badly when women try to control men like this, and vice versa. I hope that this gets resolved for your daughter's sake.

Someone should give the stepmother a good kick in the rear. She knew he had a daughter when she married him, so she is just going to have to suck it up and deal with it. He is your daughters father, he is responsible for her and that's just the way it is. You don't have kids and when someone doesn't like them, just give them away. That man should be signing off on his divorce papers, not signing himself out of his child's life.

Any man that would allow a woman to come between him and his child is no man at all. I would sit down and have a discussion with your ex. I would point blank tell him that if he is going to allow a woman to destroy his relationship with his child, then maybe his child is better off without him. It is very sad for your daughter, but does she need someone in her life that would do that to her. Also does she need a stepmom in her life that would be so awful to her? Honestly, this woman is NO woman at all, and is jealous. Real women, dont feel threatened because their men have children. Sounds to me like she needs to grow up. I think I might sit down with her and find out what her real problem is. Is she jealous of the child, or the link her hubby has to you (via the child). Sounds to me like she is insecure. I think you have to protect your child at all cost, but let it be his decision that way when your daughter is older you can say you did everything you could to salvage the relationship with her father and her. She needs positive male influence in her life, and this man may cause abandonment issues she definitely doesnt need. You sound like a good mom, so dont let this woman bother you. Just be mature about it, and lay it all out on the table. Let him make his decision and if he continues to see your child, make it CLEAR you wont put up with his wife treating your child with any disrespect. Good luck!

i have a stepson and i love him just like he was my own. i new just like your exs did that the kids were there befor us if she didn t like it then she shouldn t have married him.its not like she didn t know about her os she needs to get over it. but what do you mean exactly by sign off on her tell her to go to hell jk it just make it harder on your little girl have you talk to her dad what does he want to do

This is really a heart-wrenching case. Usually step parents will have hard time dealing with their step child as per my feelings. Because you often feel the child is not made up from your blood. So there is no blood relation, only physical relations between the parents. But then this is also a part of life. Therefore one should understand other's feelings. Understanding among children and parents is important to keep healthy atmostphere at home.
