I have never had much regard for step-mom's, only because all of mine---yes there was more than one lovely woman---were horrible, mean, vicious people. The one married to my dad when he died, had the nerve to use my grandmother's obituary to try and prove in a court of law that my dad was not legally my dad and my grandparent's had adopted my sister and I. I came home from work one day and found a letter from a lawyer asking for my "adoption" papers. She tried to prove it in my little small town, and the judge, who has known my family for my entire life, tore her a new one!!! She was trying to block my sister and I from receiving a piddly amount of money that we would have gladly signed over to her. Her acts lost her a great family---no one will speak to her now--she is not invited to functions. Her greed and viciousness got her in the end---and my sister and I got the stupid couple of thousand dollars.
