The divorce and remarriage of parents can be very hard for children.
Especially if the divorce involved nasty things like cheating.
Also, it doesnt help when the new partner of a parent isnt a good person.
But they didnt give in and sought revenge on her in a creative and musical way.
So, the divorce and a new marriage followed.
So, its no surprise the rest of the siblings feel hate towards their father for his actions.
Yet, theyre still forced into contact with him, but at least he doesnt have fullcustody.
Now, its been two years since the marriage, and the hate train still prevails.
For instance, the OP doesnt speak to her 6 stepsiblings, whose mom is the mistress.
Yet, the OP didnt give up.
The plan worked so well that the stepmother ended up having amentalbreakdown and was hospitalized.
But this didnt stop her from coming to Reddit and asking whether shes actually the jerk here.
And the verdict was that the OP wasnt a jerk.
But have we ever thought about thenegative implicationsof this trope for the women who marry into a family?
No one would like to be perceived as evil for no reason, right?
And thats just a few negative consequences that can arise from the trope.
So, maybe calling the stepmother from the Reddit story evil isnt the best choice.
Still, it doesnt detract from the fact that her actions towards her stepchildren were basically abuse.
