I would like to ask those of you who have read Stepmonster and are SDs as well as SMs, did you relate to the content of the book as a SD and could you identify the role you may have played (and your father's role) in your SM's misery?

Do you think your adult skid would benefit from reading this book and seeing the step situation through our eyes - and seeing their roles in it? Or do you think they are so far in denial that it wouldn't impact on them much?

I stumbled across this page whilst searching for another specific article which I'd read quite some time ago. I can no longer find the one I was looking for but this young lady's dilemma may give us insight into how SDs feel about inviting their SMs to their weddings.

How funny! She doesn't consider her SM to be family. Looks like most comments from other readers are also from SD's......

Isn't this an excellent idea? Widows/widowers have enough grief of their own to deal with, without any additional stress inflicted by the money-hungry "entitled" ones.
