Do you have any good step parent/bad step parent stories?
You hear about step parents being horrible quite often, and my oldest daughter does have an awful step mom to go with her awful biological dad. Let's just say it was bad enough for her to need a mental health counselor to get over what they put her through. She never has to see them again if she doesn't want to, thank goodness.
What you don't hear as much about are those step parents who really care about their step kids and do their best to raise them with love.
My daughter left to go on vacation with my brother's family today, and my husband actually came home for lunch so he could see her before she left. That might not seem like a big deal, but to a girl whose biological father hardly acknowledges that she exists, it means the world.
So, I just wanted to brag about my man and the kind of awesome father he is.... Yay, Mr Isla!
