Hey ice, I was just going to say its daneswalk's thread and I have intruded!
Just to say, she isnt a new partner, she has been with my dad 14 years (i'm 21) and they got married 18 months ago.
She is ok to me now, but only because I am with my partner and have been for 4 years, she has always loved him! If I was to see them on my own, I would be ignored completely, but with Alan around she is ok. Probably a good thing as he has wanted to speak to my dad before (my stepmum was refusing to go to my sisters wedding becuase my sister was marrying a women) and my dad wanted to go. Eventually my stepbrother talked her round, but she was rude and insulted my sister to me at the wedding when I was cheif bridesmaid! I said to my other half that I didnt want him to get involved in the nasty stuff, because partly its not down to him, and also because he is the only chance I know have left to see my dad.
Anyway, sorry daneswalk! 'll leave your thread alone now!
