[quote=Anonymous]My sons step-mom is amazing and generous and kind.  She treats my son like her own and I adore her.  I like her much better than I like my XH.  So yes, it is possible for a stepparent to love a step-child as their own.

I am helping my SO raise his sons.  I am way more of a mother to them than their mother will ever be because she essentially abandoned them years ago and thinks being a mother is texting them every day and seeing them about once every six months for dinner.  My son is in college so technically my nest is empty but I do for those kids like I did for mine when he was still here.  I take off work to get them to appointment and make sure they can get to social events and school events if their dad has to work late.  I also make sure they have everything they need to thrive.  Not my kids but I love them and have really enjoyed watching them grow up.  I am not sure I can honestly say I love them as much as I love my own though.  There’s just something about that bond that is so incredibly special.[/quote]
