new to site, can I love this child like my own?

Susie Q's picture

I am a step mom to a 7 yr old girl. I have been with her father 3 years now. (actually he was my first love many years ago, we got back together). Her biological mother is not in the picture; she is not interested. I have 2 grown children, a son and a daughter. We are very close, and have always had a wonderful relationship. I feel guilty because I cannot find in myself, a love for this 7 yr old, that I feel I should. She is very sweet, but has some issues because of a rocky first 4 years. She is jealous of my relationship w/ her father, but not as bad now as it was 3 yrs ago.
