The status of step parent is wicked in the sense that it not the best relationship child to adult. Every child deserves an intact biological family; a bio mom and dad.
If the step parent is more loving than the bio parent, the child probably feels bad about it because the child’s deepest if unarticlated yearning is for their own bio parent.
If the step parent is less loving then we know what the child feels.
Even if a child does not have the feelings set forth above, the child is then lacking in a primal response which is natural and beneficial in so many ways.
Better to live alone if one is divorced with children. That is if one loves their children.
Why do you think that divorce is the only way for a child to have a stepparent?
My cousin’s husband died of cancer. She had three daughters and one was only an infant when her daddy died. Fortunately, she met a lovely man that ended up adopting all three and since they were so small, they have few memories of their bio dad. I know of other good examples as well and I also know of situations where one of the bio parents was downright evil or completely lost to drugs/alcohol.
While I do not feel comfortable about commenting on you personally (I don’t know you), your comments are completely ignorant and show a serious lack of thought.
