Ok, So I have a SD who is now 18, We meaning my DH and I have been through so much with her. Her BM has never been in her life and I have had the priveledge of helping my DH raise her since she was 9 years old. I tried very hard to have a relationship with her and get her to open up to me, I knew from the beginning that I had to treat the situation as "fragile" because I could only imagine how she felt not having her BM involved in her life. Things did not turn out they way I or my DH had hoped for.

Thank You!

I am so glad to find this site, I have been a step-mother for 8 years now, I am married to my first husband, he has 3 children from 2 other women prior to me, that we raise together and we have 3 biological children. Life in our household has been very difficult throughout the years and very rewarding as well. We live in a small town, so most know what goes on, I have always felt so alone in the way I feel and the many trials that I have had to go through as a step-parent. I work really hard at looking from all sides of a situation.
