    hi there

    your dad sounds similar to mine. he also has a new wife - met only a few months after my mum died hence i feel a lot of resentment towards her.

    have had a lot of rows with them both over the past years and often blamed the wife. but now realise it is my dads lack of backbone and not her interfering. also think my mum shielded me from my real dad and i now know the type of person he really is.

    but he is my only parent and have decided change what you cant accept, and accept what you cant change. and he wont change. so stay civil for the sake of my eldest daughter ( they dont have much to do with my youngest and wanted me to have a termination when my son was dying 'as the timing wasnt right' and in his words, he couldnt deal with the situation)

    also, during these rows, i said i wanted nothing to do with the wife. and he said they come as a package. so he can chose which of my children to be involved with, but he puts his wife over his kids. double standards and not something i would ever do as my kids come first, second and third.

    so now i am civil and keep contact so i have no regrets, but also know in my heart they are not really a big part of my life anymore. but i no longer allow them to upset me as life is too short to feel any more anger.

    hope you get things sorted
