Quote From: my_bubbaI know in the last forum that the majority of the posts in this topic were negative. I wanted to start the forum with a positive topic. I wanted to hear some stories about positive relationships with stepfamilies. I'll be the first . . .
I am 21. My parents married when I was 19. I have a 1 year old brother. I met my stepdad when I was 11. My stepdad is a huge influence in my life. He told me a couple weeks ago that he wanted to be the most positive influence in my life. I see my stepdad as a father figure/dad. He spends a lot of time with me justtalking and hanging out. We also spend a lot of time together as a family. My mom, brother and stepdad are great. My Mom and I have a great relationship also, and I love spending time with my little brother.
:o)
I notice no one has posted anything positive. Well it takes all 4 parents to grow up to make it a positive relationship. Sorry I have nothing to say about my step family when it comes to my step daughter being in my life. Because her Mom refuses to let her Dad be apart of her life if I am in it... That his already made family will not be apart of her life....go figure....
Anyhow if my husband wrote on this board he would tell you the trials and tribulations but, than tell you the fun and rewards that have come along with it. I know he misses his daughter so much. But he has been a great father to my boys. My boys believe they have it made. They get two of everything and that is love hugs kisses...etc. So there is some positive.
