Hello, this is all new to me. After a late night and needing help trying to help parent step son. I looked online and found this forum.

I am engaged to a lovely man who is 18 years older than me with 2 kids. A boy and a girl. His son is 11 years old and his daughter is almost 10. We don't get to see or spend time with his daughter as much as we would like.

I, myself, was a step-daughter. My step dad was my dad from the age of 2 to 24. He passed away last year(2016). So I do know how hard it is to adjust. I just didn't think it was this hard.
