LOL... It'd be interesting to read though from someone else's perspective. As I don't even have kids of my own (yet), but did raise my brother for many years including nappy changes and bottle feds. I'd like to read from an adults point of view, if that makes sense?
Even after 11 years, I am still not sure it would make a difference in the relationship (or lack of!!) between me and my dads partner (soon to be wife). That said there is only 13 years between me and her, and she is very immature and controlling.
We (brother and I) could accept my dad having a new relationship (just as my mother did before she died). Sadly, almost as soon as the news of my mums death was received my dads partner tried to jump in my and fill the "mother void", which my brother and I didn't like or want. Neither can seem to understand why we don't, even after explaining.
