Stepmother
a mother to her husband’s children from a previous marriage, not their natural mother. According to Soviet law, a stepmother must support her under-age stepchildren if they are under her guardianship and have no parents or if they cannot obtain sufficient support from their parents. In turn, the stepchildren must support their stepmother when she is disabled or in need of help, if she raised and supported them. Want to thank TFD for its existence?

And now, because he was afraid that their stepmother might not treat them well and might do them harm, he put them in a lonely castle that stood in the middle of a wood. I do not think my brother will ever marry again, and certainly not her; and this is why: first, I know that though he rarely speaks about the wife he has lost, the grief of that loss has gone too deep in his heart for him ever to decide to give her a successor and our little angel a stepmother. |
