I have BEEN the wicked stepmom..with an invitation to her father (who I am now divorced from) that said WITHOUT WIFE in huge letters on the invitation..and I never did a thing to her..she just didn't like me..she even told me it was nothing personal, it was the principle..whatever that meant! I think it was mainly because I had a son and she was jealous because my then husband paid so much attention to him, treating him as his own..

Anywho...certainly not defending her actions but do think popcornbird has a good heart to say all that.
See there is a difference between you two dear heart. She has done a lot of things to me and she knows it. I would never say my father can't bring his wife, but I just don't know how to work the gifts. She has done nothing but brought pain into my life. She says she thinks of me as her own daughter, but yet I'm treated like a slave when I got to visit. Plus I'm sure you would be proud of your step daughter if she was the first of the children to graduate and make somehting of her life. You wouldn't keep telling her you're disappointed in her because she hasn't had children yet.
