Yes it is difficult! Especially when ya know the new man treats the kids like crap! And it sucks that the parent sticks up for the new man and does nothing to protect her kids.
And you know something ain't right when a 7 year old says something, but you are in such denial!
How about when your mother slips off and gets remarried and you don't find out about it for 3 years???
And I have NOT forgiven my mother...and I doubt I ever will!
Yup that was my experience and I got therapy bills to prove it!
Next, a more positive experience
