I laughed when I saw his book in the thrift store about making marriage last.
Now I cry when I thing of the imposition on his son of a “stepmother”. There is a reason that stepmothers are always wicked in literature. It is not because they are wicked as persons, but because they are wicked as status. Kids need their biological parents and when one or both of those parent’s abandon them by divorce and remarriage, their world is forever shattered.
I can’t congratulate Dennis. I can only mourn for his first marriage, him, his first wife, his son and this “second wife.”
That's an excellent description.
When Prager announced his divorce he said, ". . . I hope that what I call my moral bank account is large enough to withstand this withdrawal".
If we had "moral bank accounts" criminal trials would require the jury to weigh all the good a person had done against all the bad to judge guilt or innocence.
This is his third wife. I’m not being judgemental. Just stating fact.
“... his book ... about making marriage last.”
He’s certainly qualified to opine about what not to do in that regard.
It is his third wife. Sometimes the stepmothers are more loving than the real mothers. If you think biology means people will be good parents, you are misinformed.
As for the status of them being wicked - what? I am not a stepmother but I do know of people who have told me their stepmother was better to them than their mother. Shame on you for the broad insult.
I laugh to. He is always talking about it to on his radio show.
I think he is an intellectual but an emotional idiot.
I don’t think you should say that about her as a step mom. Read her bio. She has 2 kids of her own and she is also raising two kids of her sister’s who recently died of cancer. She may be just the step mom a kid should want.
I assume she has a twice-a-day appetite that Dennis (according to his columns) seems to require, and that they have lots of nannies so as not to get interrupted... LOL.
