Step-mother gets an answer she wasn't prepared for when she asks 17-year-old if she's a suitable replacement for step-child's mother: 'She was never second best [...] because she was never in the running'

It's often said that you should never ask questions that you don't know the answer to. It should also probably be said that you should never insist on an answer to that question once the chance to give one has been politely declined. Doing so is just setting yourself up for a bad time when the person you're demanding an answer from gives you one that you really don't want to hear… and when things get sensitive, a confrontation is sure to follow.

This step-mom insisted on placing herself on the same level as her 17-year-old stepchild's late mother, together with the teen's father organizing a therapy session to discuss her place as "second best" or a "consolation prize" to the mom. They pushed the teen to answer why, and after several sessions, the teen answered the question, but the answer was one that neither of them actually wanted to hear.
