In Reply to: Step-daughters mother getting married posted by Crystal on January 18, 2003 at 15:09:08:
: I have two wonderful step daughters that are 6 and 10. When there father and I got married they were a huge part of our wedding, they were in our wedding party and part of the planing and dress designs. We all had a great time and it really meant a lot to me to have them be such a big influence for our wedding. But now there mother is getting married. her new husband is a great guy and wonderful with them but they are going to las vegas with them to get married. The older girl seems really hurt that they are being left out of such an important part of their mothers life, she says it is like that her mother doesn't want her their and won't invite her. I just want some advice on how to help them ease there hurt feelings and express them, asking them to just tell their mother is out of the question, they are afraid to talk to her about their feelings. any advice would be welcome thanks a whole bunch. :D I don't really know what to suggest, however I had a similar situation as a child. My father planned to remarry, set the date, etc... At the last minute they went to the courthouse with step mom's kids and did it... WITHOUT ME! I was really hurt at that time. But I have gotten over it! Just let them open up and share with you their feelings, it really helps to talk about it.
