I was twelve when my parents got divorced. I liked the guy my mom ending marrying who is still my stepdad today and a great person, and my dad had an awesome girlfriend at one point and new wife at another who were both amazing. I also didn't have the mindset of thinking they were trying to replace my parents. I recognized my mom was extremely unhappy with my dad who was a control freak with depression issues and although he was miserable for a while, they shouldnt have been together.
No comment about your unsubstantiated opinion about the likelihood of great step parents.
