[quote=Anonymous]I feel sad reading this thread also. Until I became a step parent, I would not have been able to relate to or understand this at all. I have been a step parent of 2 for 7 years, I came into their lives when they were 8 and 9. They live with us full time, occasionally visiting mom on the weekends. It is a completely different relationship with them than with my biological children. With biological children there is that unconditional bond from the beginning. You are able to manage many of the stresses involved with parenting because you have the deep rooted love for your children. It is different with step children. Yes, I love them and we have a good relationship. I treat my step and bio kids equally, I would support each of them in any way necessary. However, the relationship just different. [/quote]
