Abby nailed it.

Jen is a bitch.

"Allen" is an ASShole.

Writer is an idiot.

That is all

Hope you are doing well, princessmofo!

Good advice but too bad Disrespected Out West didn't ask for advice sooner.

Should be a reality TV show. The StepMom Wives. They all place a generous layer of Vaseline between their upper lip and upper gum line then smile like there's no tomorrow. Full frontal lobotomy is recommended but not required. Tranquilizers will do.

I think that everyone goes into these situations with rose colored glasses on. How else could there be a StepTalk? HAHA

But in reality is a damned if you do...damned if you don't situation for most of us steps.

Dear Disrespected Out West.
You should allow your soon to be SD the time she needs with her father in order to help her feel safe and loved.
She just hasn't recovered from her parent's divorce yet.
A COD has many hurdles to overcome and by not having empathy for SD, it is evident that you harbor some hatred for this young woman.

This would have been more typical of Dear Abby.

I agree with WOB's comment at the top!

Just the fact that "Allen" is asking his fiance to give in to his daughter's demands would have been enough for most women to end their engagement!
