I dont think people in general understand what its like to be in a 2nd marriage and all the drama that comes with it. I think they brush it off as trivial.
You may be ok if you have a good support network around you but im not fortunate enough to have had that. We are probably out the other side of the worst part of being in a 2nd marriage with stepchildren each. However, it never really goes away.
You only have to look at the Depp v Heard case to see how utterly brutal and heartless people can be towards each other after divorce.
Getting caught in the crossfire of 2 people who absolutely hate each other is not a pleasant experience. And even worse when children are involved.
I firmly believe my stepchildren are the subjects of abuse. I do not state this lightly. Ive read some of the articles here and Ive studied at university level social and abnormal psychology.
The worst form of alienation has been at play in our case. We may now not even live with our stepchildren but the alienation and abuse is worse now than its ever been. H has suffered from depression at his grief and loss with zero support from his mother or anyone on his side of the family.
EFH instead of seeing any realistic positive opportunities in our situation constantly spins a tale of woe, she tells the children they have been abandoned by their father and acts continually like a victim.
She has no common decency, even to answer a simple question in a email. Everything has to be about her and is the upmost of dramas. She resorts to the lowest possible behaviours ive ever seen in a human being. Believe me ive seen it all but I simply cannot understand the psychological damage of a women who acts the way she does. Negative, mean, poisonous and a very bad influence upon her children. She encourages them to bad mouth me regularly. She encourages abusive text messages towards me. Who gets their children involved in hate campaigns? Its a clear sign of a mentally disturbed woman.
People just do not comprehend the damage caused by bullying from an EFH. Its outside of the norm.
