Hello, my name is Tatiana. But you can call me Tati. As you wish:) And I'm divorced a few years already.
The topic I have choosed to talk about is really hard and controversial. But it SHOULD be discussed.
I have two children from a previous marriage. So one of them is an adult and the other on the way to it. But this topic is still important to me!
I would like to briefly tell you the story of my friend. And to be more precise - her child. Who of the two fronts collide with REJECTION.
The first side is the stepfather.
The other side is the stepmother.
It would seem how wonderful that a divorced mother and father found their second halves and started their lives anew. Yes, of course. But not for their child.
Nearby, the mother's new husband who at any convenient time uses psychological violence against the child. And somewhere far away is the father's new wife, who consciously and totally does EVERYTHING to separate her husband from communication with his legal and biologically native child. Starting from the legal responsibilities of the father to provide for his child, ending with "Happy Birthday my Darling".
Why is this happening? Why does the beautiful continuation of ourselves become a problem for people who came into our lives much later? I believe that if a woman and a man truly love each other, they will definitely let their love for children into their hearts. YES, they are not your blood relative.
But is your love to your life partner and the people who are dear to him should to have your DNA?
