So need input from more seasoned stepmoms about how to change ME

Ok, so in last year of my relationship w/ sd10, i really feel that things have come a long way and that "we" have really developed an nice little relationship that is friendly, warm, and respectful and even lovey at times. Not my own kid but still really it was quite swell. Then comes summer, she spends about 4x the amount of time w/ her mom as usual (usually spends 1st/3rd wknd month w/ her and in summer spends 2 wks/month w/ her) so that combined w/ the fact she's gone a lot either w/ her mom or at summer camp or whatever i feel like I'm losing her.

Ok, I'm a stepmom-3 year into marriage w dh and sd 8. Things i think are pretty good overall. we have full custody, BM gets visits every other weekend and she is the cliche crazy etc. anyway, sm life has not been easy but relative to alot of things i think our little family has gelled pretty good to this point.
