Group Therapy: Divorced, But Can I Still Be Friends With My Step Mom

It's was something that a lot of us have gone through at one time or another, but a guy got divorced from his second wife, however, his daughter still wants to be friends with her step mom.

This was the dilemma in Group Therapy this morning on The Mike & Carla Morning Show! Now hear us out, the guy confessed that he had cheated and that was the reason for the split.

However, his 18 year daughter still wants to be friends with her step mom. This is where it gets a little dicey...the father said no way! Again, keep in mind, he cheated, but doesn't want his daughter to be friends with the ex.

According to an article from Good Therapy, that talks about this very same thing, it depends on the motive. Why do you want to remain friends? Do you really and truly like that person? Have you developed a relationship with good intentions?

These are questions that popped up in the article and on The M&C Morning Show. To be honest, the dad was NOT getting a lot of support here.

One thing you should know is that the daughter is 18 years of age and off to college. She is clearly her own person and can make up her own mind for the most part.

Advice from Mike O'Brian, who has had a few "ex's" in his time, said he would be fine with it as long as his daughter and the ex step mom kept him out of it.

Oh, the other thing, is "don't throw it up in my face!" Other than that, Mike said he wouldn't care either way. Keep in mind that the guy cheated, so he really didn't have a leg to stand on at this point in time.

But as always, listen to the segment from this morning and you decide!

Were you the "favorite child" in your family? It's been said the most parents absolutely have a favorite child, but most *smart* parents won't just tell you who that child is.

It could be the oldest, it could be the youngest - it probably isn't the middle child, though. KIDDING! Well - now there's supposedly a sneaky new way to get it out of your parents.

Over the past few months, there's been a silly trend on TikTok (what - a silly trend on TikTok??), where kids log out of Netflix, and then they ask their parents for the password. If one of the kids' names is in the password, they're determined to be the "password child," and their parents' secret FAVORITE child!

There were some funny responses online:  One person said, "I'm an only child and I'm not even the password child."  Another said, "My sister is the password child, but I'M the one who they come to when THEY forget the password." And in the words of another: "Nothing hurts worse than getting replaced as password child by the dog.” Ouch!

Here's the video that started it all.

Others said that they're the password child for one of their parents but not the other.  And one person joked about their family being thrown into chaos when the password was: "TheAdopted1." Ahh - you have to love parents with a sense of humor!

Now, if your parents' password ISN'T a child's name, and is 47 random characters, you won't know who their favorite child is.  And you'll become the least favorite child for logging them out, because now they have to reset their password, and they can't remember their username either.  But on the plus side, your parents are far less likely to lose your inheritance by being hacked, that's for sure!

On the flip side of it all, here's how you know you are NOT the favorite child in the family...
