24-year-old woman disowns problematic stepmom due to years of ‘aggressive’ behavior toward her, revokes her ‘grandma’ title: ‘She’ll be grandpa’s wife they never see’
Family can be chosen, so one can choose to not associate with their alleged «chosen» family, i.e., their stepfamily.

It’s not worth trying to force a familial dynamic that doesn’t happen naturally. It doesn’t work when parents try to make their new partner a surrogate parent without any consideration for the amount of time their kid has known their new partner. If your 16-year-old son brought his new friend Kyle to your house and …

If I were the mother of a 3-month-old, I would not be handing her off to anyone and everyone in my vicinity to babysit.
