I was very lucky and really liked my dad's 2 other wives..right off the bat..but I will tell you this. The stepmoms were very good to me....but my dad treated his new families better than he treated his children...and it was obvious and extremely painful.
He openly showed them affection but he did not do this with me (he was an alcoholic). When I date men with children teen/young children....I let them know that they must take care of their children 1st!!!!! They are the priority - do not force a situation. Good luck...I am so thankful for my stepmoms
