Janice,
I'm sorry this happened to you. Honestly, it sounds like Jackie was the one who could have most benefitted from having her bare behind blistered!
As you've alluded to, your dad was not innocent either. SHAME on him for essentially putting someone else - ANYONE else, even a new love interest woman - ahead of his own children.
Not to go too far down this rabbit hole, but I was divorced when my two sons were 9 and 12. My (now ex) wife and their mother, essentially abandoned the family when she and I were in our late 30s...so I raised them, primarily. I would NEVER have put any woman ahead of my own children, I don't care WHAT she had to offer, it would have been NOTHING compared to my children.
Likewise, I had discussions with my closest guy friend, Pat, when we were both divorced (he's now remarried). I told him and he agreed, we would NEVER even date a woman who would EVER put US ahead of her own children because we'd know there was something seriously, fundamentally, wrong with her.
This attitude doesn't make me some kind of heroic martyr or anything, just a dad who loves his children.
