Stepdad forces 10 and 12-year-old stepkids to never mention their late father in front of him, mom can't understand why they don't want a relationship with him 17 years later: 'Frank yelled at my sister because she mentioned dad in her graduation speech.'

When you're a kid, you're at the mercy of the adults around you. While many kids have two healthy, rational parents at the helm of their families, a lot of kids have to operate under a series of absurd rules that do nothing to prepare them for the future. A parent could hypothetically feed their kids nothing but Fruit Roll Ups and vitamins, demand that they walk 10 miles to school when they have two cars in the garage, and make them call them "My Leige" without anyone stopping them. There's a fine line between bad parenting and ab*se, and while a lot of parents cross that line, there's often very little that can be done about it if the child is not in immediate physical danger. Often, the only person who can control a rouge parent is the other parent in the family, and some moms and dads are wholly unwilling to do that.
