When the Stepmother is a Filbert

by Margo Howard

Dear Margo: I am getting married in less than a year to a wonderful person with whom I see myself having a long and contented future. However, the problem is not with my fiancee, but with my parents. They've been divorced almost 10 years, and ever since my father remarried, his new wife, "Ann," has been constantly harassing and berating my mother via blog.

Ann is 36, hardly the right age for someone to be doing that kind of stuff. She brings up private things about my mother' ...

I thought you had to go to a blog to read it. Even if the crazy second wife is emailing this man's mother, she can either not open the email or block it easily if she uses Outlook Express. She should not listen to anyone who reads this blog and rushes to tell her what was on it. If she needs someone with computer knowledge to help her do this, it would be worth it for the son to pay for someone to come out and show her what to do. I don't know if daddy had an affair with crazy second wife and told her all these things about his first wife to show her how terrible life was for him so she would coddle him or if he started sharing private information about his first wife after they were married, but he is the one to put a stop to this. If he won't or won't come to the wedding without her, he can stay home and see the video and photo album later. Maybe daughter who lives with dad should meet mom for lunch and not stay in her house. If people are willing to gossip or trade information for money, they should be dropped cold. It's hard to believe this is really happening and that first wife is still reacting to it after all these years.

Waiiiit a minute. He said his brother stayed the WHOLE weekend AT LEAST once a month. So that means that sometimes- probably often- it is more often. I'd be ticked off too. And it's bad enough that he stays there, he probably butts in on all their plans. I'm surprised the wife is just now mentioning divorce. And why can't the brother take a hint? I'm sure it was obvious that his overly frequent overnight visits weren't welcome. Does he ask first or just show up? I'm betting he just shows up. He obviously has no consideration for other people.
