THANK YOU AND HUGS to everyone who has contributed to ST and made many if not all of our lives a bit less stressful (for lack of a better word). One we get to VENT, two we have emergencies and people RESPOND (though we don't know each other in real life - we care and we are here!). Three, we are community of people - stepparents - united, most if not all trying to do the right thing, because after all, we did google or found this site.

THANK YOU AND HUGS to everyone who has read a book, read online, shared a link, shared an experience that made someone else reading it on ST and say..."yeah that's me" or "that's what I should do next time"

THANK YOU AND HUGS for blogging, adding to the forum, sharing your stories, making nights and skids weekends more managable. This is not just an escape, but we are here because we are safe to be and say what we need to when we feel we have to.

This site has made me mentally healthier than keeping it all bottled up inside and believing I am the ONLY ONE!! Especially much more healthier than talking to a therapist for an hour. Ugh, I can spend a full day on ST and still have more to share, more advise to give, more people to bond with.

THANK YOU AND HUGS.

Zenjetset...thank you so much for putting into words what I have felt for this site since I found it about 10 months ago.

Thank you so much all my fellow steppers. Seriously, I was really starting to think I was crazy and that I was the ONLY person out there that became so angry & frustrated with this insane world we lovingly call "stepparenting".

I just think about the many, many times I was at my wits end and how the people on this site made me feel safe...and not alone...and not a monster...and not crazy.

I remember one of the FIRST times I realized that there were other people out there going through almost the exact same things that I was going through (especially with wacky, narcissistic BM's), I cannot put into words the RELIEF I felt. It almost brings me to tears, to this day.

Thank you all so much for being there for me (even though you've never "met" me - at least not in person). Thank you all so much for your support, advice and wisdom.

You are all my heroes and I will always be there for you - no matter what.
