[QUOTE="HaoZi, post: 388560"] Emotions aren't logical, but it doesn't mean she doesn't feel that you might prove to be the better mother, the better wife, the kids might like you better, etc. The kids are capable of accepting you both in your own ways, but she likely feels she'll get pushed out of the "mommy" role and has to make them choose. I know I certainly don't relish the idea of kiddo having a step-mom (esp since I know who he's with and I personally haven't been able to stand her EVER, from long before they got together) but I also get that it's out of my hands and not my choice and kiddo will form her own opinions (no doubt very strong ones that she will express very loudly irregardless of what those opinions are). Maybe she feels that she has failed him and the kids, I don't know. Maybe she's just pure-out messed up in the head. I adore my own step-mom greatly, and she's been a wonderful grandmother to kiddo, so I know the flip side of this as well. As Heinlein said "Your enemy is never a villain in his own eyes. Keep this in mind; it may offer a way to make him your friend. If not, you can kill him without hate — and quickly."
