It can be easy to let someone else be the stand-in recipient for the anger and hurt. (I'm divorced, too, by the way! And now remarried.)Jill Davis Doughtiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03652442621933926893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3407848862959871054.post-4065153933984884822008-02-05T07:56:00.000-06:002008-02-05T07:56:00.000-06:00When X split, I was 37, I don't know how I would have handled it if it had been a decade earlier. I have those exact feelings of being "replaced" as they do family things that "we" used to do. As I age I have learned the wonderfulness of women and the value of my friendships with women. At 27, I think I would resent "step-mom" not X. Sometimes it is easier to resent someone other who we once loved more than anything...DivorcingDazehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13470727973475347528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3407848862959871054.post-90023793819084482912008-02-04T12:26:00.000-06:002008-02-04T12:26:00.000-06:00I can't wait to try pilates with you!<BR/><BR/>This post was very good and very real and I agree that you may hit a nerve with many moms out there who have felt these same feelings/thoughts about the stepmom in their life and their divorce.<BR/><BR/>Life is so funny sometimes. I'm sure neither of us could have ever expected to be where we are at right now, but like you, I wouldn't change a thing. It's taken the history to get where we are now.simplicityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11276604958243463666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3407848862959871054.post-38473944980048272112008-02-04T11:29:00.000-06:002008-02-04T11:29:00.000-06:00This is so useful to read and hear about -- this is a perspective I have not heard very much of on the internet -- the feelings moms have to deal with when getting along with the stepmom. Is it okay if we link it? (If not, that is totally okay, of course!)Jill Davis Doughtiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03652442621933926893noreply@blogger.com
