I am new and this is my first blog. My stepson is six years old. We have a good relationship, actually, although right now he is suffering from the split loyalty feeling between his mother and me. His mother has chosen not to try and make a good relationship with each other for his sake. She has even legally forbidden me to speak to her about my stepson. In the three years I have been apart of his life, I have only spoken to his mother once. That's right, just once at a T-Ball game and we did not get into an argument or part on bad terms.
