To all intents and purposes...
...my former stepmother and her kids don't exist in my family's universe, because of this.

I still try not to think about it much.

Have you never cosidered revenge?...
A dish best served *ice, ice* cold. Make it legal and dont let it fester. Just take joy in making her life a living hell.

Trust me, folks...
...that fucker is best left well alone, as tempting as it is to hand out some payback by any means. She's a highly talented manipulator and I want none of mine on her chessboard ever again - she'd find a way to hurt someone before I was done with her. Making sure she never does carries just enough satisfaction to keep me at rest on it.

Nowhere near as extreme but similarly mental.
But my dad married a very strange woman when my mother died. Fortunately, my brother and I were adults and so didn't go to live with the pair of them.
My father was effectively housebound through various illnesses in later life. When she wasn't eavesdropping, however, he confided to us that she had blackmailed him into changing his will, so she was the sole beneficiary, by threatening to no longer care for him and to dump him in a home. I'll never forgive her for that.
She even manipulated him into getting me to give back £9,000 he'd given my brother & I for safe keeping as a start-up fund if he should ever leave her (which he'd said was to pass to my brother and I if he didn't need it in his lifetime). The money was supposed to improve his quality of life, to be spent on an electric wheelchair, etc. and I would never have begrudged him that. He died in hospital 3 weeks after we handed over the money.

I feel for you m8...
...and I know how you feel. You wonder again and again how a human being can be such an out-and-out cunt and somehow there's nothing you can do about it without being turned into the bad guy and doing more harm than good for those you care about. I know, it fucks you up.

I wish I could say that it gets easier to handle, but you probably know this already. For those who don't, you find a way to compartmentalise it, sure, but thinking about it always hurts and the hate never leaves you. Another reason I stay away from her is that I still can't give a cast-iron guarantee that she'll survive being in the same room as me. That fact explains also why I try to think about it only in carefully measured doses.
