Dear Queenie,
A couple of years after my first wife died I got married again. The problem is that she refuses to visit my daughter's home because my daughter has a picture of me and her mother, my first wife, on a table in the middle of her living room, but no picture of me and my second wife, which my present wife thinks is disrespectful.
Queenie, is she (my second wife) right?—Caught in the middle
Dear In the middle,
It is quite understandable that your daughter would want to display a picture of her parents in her home and she probably means no disrespect to her stepmother.
Does she even have a picture of you and your present wife that she could display? If not, give her one and ask her to put it somewhere where her stepmother will be sure to see it when the two of you visit, if only for the sake of peace in the family.
