I'm a 65 years old widow with two adult step kids that I love like my two bio. Kids. I got into there lives when the boy was 22 and the girl 17.
I had a fare relationship with them right from the beginning . They lived with us. The boy until he got married (3 years later). And the girl until a year after her mom died, she lived with me. The relationship with her never got pass fare , even though I did for her what a father would. I never pretended to be one.I always tried to be more like a friend.
