Advantages: A special person in a childs life, support for mother

Disadvantages: can cause friction

Once upon A time there was a couple who married far too young and should not have married at all. They had two children. One was 7 and the other was only two.

The inevitable happened after they were married for 8 years, they divorced leaving the two children in dispair. Thye did not understand what happened. All they knew was their Daddy had gone to live with their Granparents and was not coming home to live with them.

The mother and farther tried everything to help the children. They used to stay with their Dad at weekends.

Money was tight for the mother. She had to cope alone with the two children emotionally and fincially, the dad did not like to part with his cash.
Lukily she had a great set of parents herself who paid for the girls to go on holiday and school trips.

Then along came this star in the form of a man. He moved into the home with the two children and their mother, he worked to help support them and took care of all their troubles.

After a good few years the couple married and the girls were bridesmaids.
He adored their mum and tried his best to make the family happy. He was on;y 19 years old and took on this responsibilty. Not once did he complain. He brought up the two girls as if they were his own and they loved him and respected him back.
He was there when they were sick, when they studied for exams he was the one by their side pushing them all the way.

They still saw their father, but the gap widened between them as they grew closer to there stepfather.

The mother and the step father had a baby who the two girls thought was wonderful, they loved her so much. There was never any resentment between them.

As they grew alnog came the teenage years. THis for the poor step dad was hell. He indured all kinds of emotional torture. The eldest girl was good, kind and understanding and did not cause much grief. The second child was a rebel and could not be
controlled. She would shout at him, never tidy her room and always stayed out late. Eventually she moved out with a little bad feeling between her and her parents.

After she left she and had a child of her own she understood her step dad and she grew to respect him.

Now they all one big happy family.

It's so much easier to understand our parents once we have children of our own.
