SS 40, SD 37, bioson 26, me..married 32 years... NOT even going to tell you how the beginning was, but it was painful. Took me some time to get used to blended family.. However we got thru it..... Forward 20 years: SD never got along with BM, BM didnt even know when my SD was gone for a week.... Me and SD grew very close.. At the age of 8 BM told my SD that she could move in with us, then after we bought clothes for school etc.. she said no..
