madonnas daughter and guy richie

[zzxxee]

does anybody feel sorry for madonnas daugher who has obviously got a close relasionship with soon to be ex step dad guy richie, whilst the two boys fly over from the states to spend time with him their relasionship is pretty much severed

[bednobs]

no.
I fail to understang how you know what the relationship is between the two of them AND what any future relationship/arrangements might be!

[zzxxee]

just looking a t pics shes usually holding guy richies hand and not her mothers the two boys flew in from the states last week minus their sister

[bednobs]

so that means their relationship is severed?

I do feel sorry for the wee soul.I am on my second and last marriage and my daughter has lived with H since she was 8 and is now 19 and they are very close,She had a fantastic loving relationship with her dad thankfully but to say that a stepfather doesnt have a bond is an absolute nonsense.
J and H have a fantastic bond -its not a father/daugher bond but its very close especially given what has happened.

I think that even if anything were to happen between myself and H ,J (daughter) would always look upon him as her stepdad -it wouldnt change a thing.

Dont know about R (son) as he is all growed up now so wouldnt feel the need for a 'father' figure.

i totally agree dris girl

[Bbbananas]

and me too - from experience.

[zzxxee]

i think its very hard if a step parent/child loose that bond, as sometimes they can be more of a stable role model than a birth parent like my daughters step dad hes great

[Bbbananas]

I am not together with my son & daughter's stepdad anymore - but we have not divorced as we think this will still make us one family. He has been a better dad to them than their 'real' one, and they will always respect him for that fact, no matter the circumstances of his and mine's breakup.

They have a bond now that they will never have with their father who hasn't bothered with them for 18+ years - his loss, not theirs.

By the same token, my two stepsons will always be that to me - even if their father & I divorce. I love them, they're my kids & part of my family and that is that.

Not sure how old Loudes is but I think she's old enough to make her own decisions about if she would want to se GR or not. If its her mothers decision or GR's then this will only breed resentment in the long run if it isn't what she wants.

how fantastic to still have high regard for your ex partner i mean your kids step dad that is............. its nice when splits are amicable

[Bbbananas]

yes, well the circumstances of our split wasn't exactly amicable zzxxee, but we have put all that behind us. We have a lot of love & respect between us, but just cannot live together any more. One of us would kill the other...!

However, none of that is the kids' fault. And I do respect him for taking on my kids & I know it's vice versa.

I hope Lourdes & Guy maintain their relationship, because losing one dad is bad enough sometimes, losing two is just awful. And remember, the kids are innocent parties in all of this.

i couldnt agree more good luck with the future salla and hope the future is going to be good for all your family
