Hey everyone. I am a young mother of a two year old. My son is mine from a previous relationship in which the father signed his rights. While I was pregnant and separated from the bio dad, I met my now husband. My husband was there for my sons birth and is for all purposes, my child's father. The problem that I am having is that when I married my husband not even a year ago, I also had the opportunity to become a step mom to his beautiful two daughters, 12 and 13. I am just wondering if anyone out there has a similar situation? Usually when I meet stepparents etc, it seems they have kids that are older, all the parents have been somewhat involved, meaning both bio parents on each side. My situation is different because my son is my husbands but don't share the same DNA. I have a wonderful relationship with the girls mom and her new husband. The problems we are encountering is that the youngest, the 12 yr old has been acting out lately. This is to include having the cops called on her father for false accusations. I feel like she is just attempting to get attention. I don't understand that though because she gets more than enough attention from all the parents, step parents, grandparents and friends that surround our non traditional family. Someone please give me some advice. And let me know if anyone else has a dynamic such as ours. I feel so alone in all this, that no one truly understands our unique life.
