I agree you and your siblings are not his old family BUT, honey, his FIRST priority is to his current wife.
That is just how it is. They are equals. You are his CHILD. Children don't get the status that is reserved for spouses. If YOUR father did it differently, then I am sorry to say, that is probably why you believe the way you do and he did a diservice by you. Sorry about that.
It is good that you won't date a man with children. We never asked my mother or father to put us first or second. We knew that they loved us and in spite of their divorce they were always there for us. The woman that my father dated enjoyed our company as well. She did not discard us as "out with the old and in with the new!"
I am 45 and my father is dead. I am not a child. I have 5 children of my own. They are our priority.
