I got the evil stepmother experience. Today though I still do her the courtesy of a phone call every few months whereas I haven't talked to my dad for more than a decade. He cheated on my mom, dumped her, and married my stepmom within weeks of knowing her. He would force us to call her mom while at the same time she would say "don't call me mom, it freaks me out," and being told to only refer to our birth mom as "the egg donor." Just some really good parenting decisions being made.

I didn't see my mom between the ages of 7-18.

Lived with my dad and stepmom from 5-16.

Moved out at 16 and reconnected with my mom on myspace lol.

WTF was wrong with her?

My mom? She was young, bullied by my dad, his parents, and my stepmom, naive and without resources. There was a nasty custody battle and it's all part of a larger story which I'll write one day and sell to Lifetime.

I also didn't have the mindset of thinking they were trying to replace my parents. I recognized my mom was extremely unhappy with my dad who was a control freak with depression issues and although he was miserable for a while, they shouldnt have been together.

No comment about your unsubstantiated opinion about the likelihood of great step parents.

Yeah, my parents are still married and both me and my sister agree that they should've divorced years ago and should've never had us as kids.
