Can I just say my SM is the bomb? Seriously. So is my SD.

Just a little something happy for the day. Smile

my stepdad is super awesome!! he's been more of a dad to me than my own dad - and he came in my life when I was 16 so I'm sure that's a unique situation Smile

I love positive posts!!

Glad you're enjoying your stepdaughter, too. It's not always easy but when they're awesome, it sure makes it a lot better Smile

I swear Sunshinex I think you and I have a lot in common. I was 15 going on 16 when my stepdad entered.

Aw. I love this.

I have struggled in my step situation...but I admit I have it much better than most when I read for a bit on here. My skids are mostly pretty cool, especially lately as they're growing and launching.

my SF is my dad; through and through, he adopted me and accepted me when he didn't "have" to. i love him and don't know what i would have done without his love and unconditional support. his entire family has taken me in and i have never felt like the odd one out. they're the best!

my SM is also wonderful, she and i have had our differences but her place in my family and her love of my father is something i am grateful for

my FSDs while making me crazy sometimes are actually really good kids in the grand scheme of things. sometimes its nice to remind myself of that in the midst of stress.

I feel the same about my stepdad he is the best thing that ever happened to my mother and to me. Love him more than the real one.

So many people seem to accept, even love their stepdads but resent or hate their stepmothers. It's such a sad dynamic.

I agree with this. I wonder why it seems relationships with stepdads are so different. I did not like my stepmom at first mainly because I did not like my dad, and I really did not like her telling me how I could talk to him, especially she had no clue what kind of man he really was. Funny after they divorced we actually started talking more. Not great but better.

My Step dad is also awesome. He is just grandpa to my kids. They know he is not my BF. The relationship is all very natural. My mom didn't remarry until we were all grown and out of the house.

Hi Ghost! Great post. My stepfather adopted me at 16, and loves me like his "real" daughter. He has a son, and I think he gets along with me a tad better.

But it has been an uphill battle and he was very young when he "Acquired me", and it wasn't always easy on either of us.

But I love him very much.

Love this!

I love my SM too! She is great. She is so laid back, kind hearted, funny. She married my dad when I was 16. I am blessed that she is in my dad's life. Especially now with him really sick, she has been by his side.

I had a SF too. He was great. He helped a lot in raising me.
