Who needs fathers? A BBC special...
The reality of many non-custodial parents...I hope everyone watches...and realizes the pain that comes to the non-custodial parent...and at the end, the children.
There is much blame from skids and ex-wives/husbands geared towards the new-wife/husband...when the reality is that the blame usually lies directly with the parents...

Thanks for posting these
Thanks for posting these videos!
I agree with your statement above. Usually the stepparents get the blame from the stepkids, when the blame really should go with the parents.
However, I want to add something to that. We stepparents can bear great amounts of resentment towards the skids when the resentment really should be going towards DH and/or BM. Kids feed off of how their parents behave and what rules they do (or don't) put in place. Also, it's the DH's responsibility to not put all of the kid-caring responsibility on the SM's shoulders. Their doing that to the SM often results in our resenting the skids.
I agree...but as someone
I agree...but as someone posted today, at some point people should be responsible for their own actions...my mother ALWAYS talked bad about my uncle's second wife, and good about his first wife...we saw the truth early on and we NEVER treated the second wife with any disrespect AT ALL...and we were in 2-3rd grade when this was going on...
Thank you so much for post
Thank you so much for post this link. I watched it, DH later, and then he called his spawn and asked if they would watch it while he was on the phone with them....
It was a bit of an eye opener for them - just the fact that they aren't the only ones.
One skid is on overload, the other - silence.
This was a very good thing indeed.
