"you guys are cheaper than a therapist for single issues... "
First you use me, then you call me cheap.

What was your question again?
Your wife? No, not a widow. If your kids refer to you more as their real dad, then it doesn't matter if you're not the biological one. They'll remember you more for your positive influence and efforts than they ever will for his.
Ya done good, "Dad".

So...what's the question?
Still, sounds like that guy didn't deserve to have a wife or kids.
You must be a saint for raising someone else's kids and deal with the shit their dad put you and your wife through.
Also, the person who asked the widow question is a fucking moron. As far as i'm aware, when you get divorced from someone you have no marital ties to them so technically she's still married and he's some dead bachelor guy.

Do a barrel roll?
Seriously though, it doesn't make your wife a widow. She's got a husband... Hope it all works out. Sounds like a deadbeat to me and the kids are better off with someone who gives a shit (as in you)

Not at all totally relatable, but when my uncle passed away, we were so relieved. He was a control freak and a jerk. We were so happy because he'd spent so many years doing controlling things to my mom that it was frustrating that she'd put up with him for as long as she had.
It was also very upsetting because my mom lost her brother, and in a totally unfair way to go (he choked on food), but it was an incredibly heavy burden that my mother was finally able to free herself from.
I don't like saying it, but sometimes, a death can be a blessing in disguise.

Thanxxx, I kinda knew the answer to my whole issue, but this is somethign I thought would be interesting to see peoples comments on.
I'll leave it at this, both the boys, both under 25, are now looking up how to legly change their last names, now that they don't feel they would have any objections... Weird doesn't begin to describe things...
Oh, and dgenerate... Seems to me that's kinda your thing, and You DID get post 0... so perhaps we both get somethign we were looking for? Besides, I grew up in Stoney Creek, so you burlingtonites are kinda our bitches, right? That's what my Dad always told me, it's the good principles I raised my boys on...

I couldn't figoure out what question you were asking, so I just went the route I always choose when faced with an awkward situation: make a joke! :P
Seriously though, that's a messed up situation, but it seems like things are working themselves out. Everyone is probably better off this way.

Oh frig yeah, but this is a simple study of how people react... I'd really like to know how many people were actulay thinking... he couldn't have been that bad... you must just be the jerk step-dad... (sometimes I would almost think that, so it's not totaly out of the relm of possibility)...
I really just though this was an interesting discussion piece. Thanxxx ya all...

I'm someone that was raised by a dad that wasn't my biological father because my biological father was a waste of human life. He would take her on high speed drives on back roads at night while he was drunk and coked out. He would get arrested for being an asshole. And he beat my mom. A lot. Once she was a few hours away from being dead. My parents found out that he killed himself by reading it in the paper, and they told me. All I cared about was that he wouldn't come around to try to take me and my bro anymore.
That's a bit of a rant... I guess the point I'm trying to make is that a dead asshole is still an asshole. The people in his monkeysphere are better off now that he's not around to fuck with their lives. Take his death as a good thing, regardless of what your "conscious" tells you that you should think.

i had someone ask me if hong kong was in japan just the other day. [this someone has a bachelors degree from an expensive private college mind you.]
when trying to come to terms with something that someone else has said to you, you always have to consider many different angles. webster defines window as:a woman who has lost her husband by death and usually has not remarried. your wife has remarried, to you, thus she isn't a widow. i know that isn't what you were asking, but you should have slapped the question asker [unless it was one of the children] for not thinking about what they were asking.
now if you wife considers herself a widow, then you need to talk with someone more professional than the internet.

Other than brandon, Thanxxx guys... I was actually raised by two step dads, a real dad (after some jail time, long story) and a granddad. The last being the most effective and most well regarded as a father figure. So I always swore that should I be in this position, I would make the changes to things I hated as a kid... and I think it worked... or at least my son's tell me it worked... guess time will tell. One's 18, living on his own.. oh and was born with CP... guess we didn't mess that one up...
But again, thanxxx guys.
@ brandon... perhaps you have more important things than Zelda to think about... perhaps starting with the whole dead thing.
