I'm no stranger to step-parenting. I've been off this site for several years because I've not been in a Step situation for a long time. I've been re-married before and lived in blended hell for several years.  After we divorced, I took a break for a while from marriage and focused on just my kid.

Fast forward to now. I'm currently in a serious relationship with a great guy for over a year now. He's the one, this is a sure thing, I never want to be without him. etc, etc.
