My husband and I were both on our second marriage. Each of us brought a child into our blended family. I brought my daughter and he brought his son. I thought we could make it work. When I got home from my five-day business trip, I opened the door and saw only our son there. "Where's your sister?" I asked. He lowered his head and didn't say a word. My husband walked out of the kitchen, wiping his hands, and said casually, "I sent her to an orphanage. They'll take care of her there, no more getting in the way at home." That was when I understood. He didn't want a blended family. He wanted a new family, without the "baggage."
