I am a "new" stepmom (almost three years, married one year in Oct) of a 14 yo girl and 17 yo boy (who lasted one year part-time with BM and has since moved in with me and dad full time). The 14 yo girl was 11 when dad moved out. He left her alone for one hour during the first month.

My Malefient is seemingly nice and above reproach to some, but when it really boils down to it...she's ignorant, self-obsessed, and can't stand my Prince Charming. She's half-educated and Provincial (the definition marking a person who lacks urban sophistication or broad-mindedness) and is so far succeeding in brain-washing my Cinderella to be the same. SIGH.
