We all hope that one day, our parents can find kind love again after a divorce. Everyone deserves someone who loves and cares not only for your parent but also for you and your siblings, too. Children of remarried parents don't want to be caught in the middle of a Cinderella-esque evil stepmother stereotype, but sometimes, that's what's handed to you anyway.
Then, when your parent takes the side of the stepmother, their true colors start showing and you're thrown for a loop. The most important thing to do in a scenario like this is to remind yourself that you're undeserving of this negativity. That's what the woman in this story is doing: holding her own and knowing her worth. Even if that means refusing to attend your father's wedding. Hey, if you overhear your future stepmother speaking ill of you and your brother, you would too. Downplaying behavior like this just makes for more uncomfortability down the road, and more catastrophic family feuds in the future.
Scroll to read the entire story, and additionally, comments from ladies advising the woman to go to the wedding anyway just to spite her entitled future stepmother.
