Dear Lou92:

“He had an overbearing stepmother that ruined the relationship he had with his Dad and treated my husband terribly. He was desperate to get out of there at any given opportunity“- I ask questions because I am trying to understand and hopefully offer you something helpful:

– At what age and for how long was his stepmother in his life?

– Can you give me an example or two of her overbearing behavior?

– Is she still in his life/ still married to his father? And if so, how did the relationship with his father change from being ruined to wonderful?
