 archive - Horwitz: The Experience of Mothers in Stepfather Families   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
A stepfather family is defined as a two-parent family in which the adults are married to each other and there is at least one child from the mother's previous relationship.
In stepfather families, the children and their mothers have a history, patterns of interaction, and strong bonds that predate the new spousal relationship.
In order to enhance and complement the existing body of literature and research in the field of stepfamilies, it is important to investigate the role that the custodial mother plays, and how her perceptions and interactions with her children affect the overall functioning of the family.

 J.W. v. R.J. (1/16/98), 951 P 2d 1206
The stepfather argues that ICWA does not apply because its purpose is "to restrict placements outside the Indian home and away from the existing family thereby causing the breakup of the Indian family." [Fn.
Footnote 12: The stepfather argues that placement with him was not a placement in a "foster home or institution or the home of a guardian or conservator." He was, however, legally S.R.'s guardian or conservator when she was with him under the 1996 custody orders because he is not her natural or adoptive father.
The stepfather may be the child's Indian custodian under tribal law or custom, or because the mother transferred physical care, custody, and control of the child to the stepfather.

The first clue is in the name: "Stepfather 2: Make Room for Daddy." Three years ago, the model was called, rather dryly, "The Stepfather," which may be why very few people went to see what turned out to be one of the most scary psychological thrillers ever made.
The original "Stepfather" was a complex thriller about a man whose quest for perfection led him to murder one family and marry into another; it compellingly wove threads together until an unsettling tapestry emerged.
The Stepfather does his same thing again, he is also exposed by someone via the mail, goes off the rails and knocks off those in the way and so on.

 CNN.com - Accuser's stepfather: Jackson camp offered house, college educations - Apr 12, 2005
Taking the stand at Jackson's child molestation trial, the stepfather also told jurors that the accuser, then 13, became mean, rude and distant after the time he spent with Jackson and that it took "several months" for his behavior to return to normal after the family left Jackson's Neverland Ranch in March 2003.
The defense tried to counter the stepfather's testimony by pointing out to jurors that he spurned the offer of a house and free educations because he wanted an even larger share of what he thought would be a financial windfall from the rebuttal video.
The stepfather, who was not married to the mother at the time but was living with her off and on, said Tyson told him that the family could get a new house and free college educations for the accuser, his brother and sister.

Jerry Rubin's 1987 film The Stepfather is probably one of the best slasher films you've never heard of (and you'll have a hard time finding it as well, since no one has seen fit to reissue it on DVD, and VHS copies of the film are fast disappearing).
Nevertheless, The Stepfather touches on issues central to the consciousness of denizens of the late 20th century who have often had their ideas of the recent past shaped by television, rather than historical fact.
Jerry Blake, the stepfather, marries into existing families where the wife is a fairly traditional woman who is newly widowed.

 'The Stepfather' (R)
Joseph Ruben's new movie, "The Stepfather," may be the best movie about the breakup of a family since "Shoot the Moon." Surprisingly, though, the movie is not a serious domestic drama.
There are some shattering moments in "The Stepfather," and one comes after Jerry has begun to lay the groundwork for his next move.
O'Quinn doesn't blow Jerry's cover; he stays away from the usual fidgets and tics that actors use to build a character like this, and part of why he's so creepy is that Jerry's impersonation of a real person is so seamlessly perfect.

 Master & Deceiver - Nikolai Tolstoy - Patrick O' Brian
Patrick was standing in the doorway just behind her in the characteristic pose he always adopted on such occasions, hands clasped before his chest, holding his head on one side and smiling shyly.
He had built up his collection before and during the war, when the most remarkable works could be obtained at knock-down prices — his first edition of Voltaire's Candide cost him all of 10/6d (55p) — and a wall was lined with rows of magnificent leather-bound volumes.
Naturally I was aware from the outset of my stepfather's change of name from Russ to O'Brian (my mother had after all been Mrs Russ for a fortnight), but apart from that I knew little of his life prior to his meeting my mother.
