Anyone else catch the Ask Amy letter from Saturday 6/22?

Just the fact she (not just the letter writer) used the term Stepmonster to refer to a SM makes me want to give her a big smack in back of the head.

No kidding.

I told DH after reading it.....

Disney Dad.
Caring SM.
15 year old used to running the house.
Picked on SM.
DH siding with skid.
Disengaged SM.
Skid now calls her Satan and Stepmonster.

I'm still peeved that Amy (not the skid) used the term Stepmonster to refer to the SM. Way to help us shake off the "evil" mantle.

She may have been being sarcastic. Because she has written about step family dynamics before favoring the skid POV, that I leaned towards believing she is a skid herself.

I have never agreed with her step advice.

Awwwww... she ignored you for a WHOLE WEEK!

That's BS, she should be going out of her way to make you like her!

*chuckle*

Dear Amy,

Please give "Stepmonster" this URL: steptalk.org

Same ol' Pollyanna drivel. Kid with A.S.S. (adult spousal status) suddenly loses said "authority" when a real adult arrives interested in PARENTING and not PLACATING. DH develops immediate loyalty conflict while skids enjoys every bit of the fighting between DH and SM.
