My (18F) dad (40M) is taking his girlfriend (38F) and her kids (11F, 9F) to France, but not my brother (10M). I'm planning a vacation for the two of us at the same time and my boyfriend (18M) is giving me a hard time.Relationshipsquote:So my dad is in love with his new girlfriend (of 18 months) and is doing things for her and her kids that he never did for us. This is just the latest example. He's never taken us to any vacation but now he's paying for the whole thing to take her girlfriend and her two kids to visit France next month.

Mother [47F] wants my forgiveness now for sending me [24M] to boarding school since her new husband wouldn't have me when she remarried.quote:So when I was 15 my mom decided to marry a rich man. At that time it was me, my sister (11 at the time) and my mom. Sadly one of his conditions was that he did not want to have me around. Eventually my mother agreed that they would send me to boarding school in a different city and when I wasn't at school I will stay with my grandparents. I never knew why he didn't want to have me around. He had a son and a daughter around my age and more than enough space since he had a very large house.

I abandoned you, my daughter, because I wanted to play house with a rich guy and you were cramping my style, but now I'm done with him and want you back. Like I know I basically cast you off as an orphan and made your own sister into a stranger, but my boyfriend was rich, and his house was very nice, you can see it from my side at all?
