I recently had a conversation with someone that left me wondering, what would this world be like if we were all selfish? I am amazed at the selfish people around me. I don't know, and maybe this is judgmental of me.
I have seen a lot of people I care about get divorced, and remarried. Many of these people have children.
When people get remarried, do they think about the kids? Often times I don't think so. I don't understand how people can marry someone who doesn't treat their children as their own.
Or who thinks that their spouse loves his kids more than her. I don't understand how that can even be an issue. The love between spouses is totaly different than a love between a parent and a child.
But I will say this, if I were to ever get divorced, or get remarried because the love of my life dies, I would never marry someone that didn't treat my kids with love. And who put their kids needs above my own. All children should be treated equal!
When people get remarried it isn't about me, me, me, it's about WE!
We includes EVERYONES KIDS!
If people can't stop being selfish, then don't get remarried it will never work!
Dr. Laura once said that people who are divorced should not get remarried until their kids are out of the house. That the children are the most important, and that you need to focus on them, not a new relationship.
I would have to agree in most cases.

I was even grown when my parents were divorced but I've had to deal with this still. I know my step mom doesn't treat us the same as her children at all- and my dad treats her kids like his own- like gold. It is really hard and hurtful. The one thing I have learned is to not do it to my kids- to love them and treat them the same. I can totally relate to this post.
