YOU’RE NOT MY MOM! - Responding to these words as a stepmom

[@barnaby-i9r]

idk my stepmother of 30 years who insists on being "mom" without ever doing anything to earn that title will never be my mom... my mother's 3rd husband of 10 years who never tried to be anything but my friend is more of a family member than she will ever be.

Each blended family has its own unique dynamics. I’m glad to hear you have a wonderful relationship with your stepdad. It doesn’t matter how many marriages later or at what age steps come into your life, it’s all about how they show up!
