[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you're her parent (doesn't matter if you're bio or not, you jointly raised her). She's a teen. It's going to be rocky. Stay calm and carry on. Read the teen thread and there are plenty of bio moms in similar situations. Give her space and breath through your feelings. [/quote] She is her father's second wife but she is not a parent. OP let herself be corralled into being a parent and she shouldn't have accepted this without in-depth counselling with all parties involved. How many times does it have to be said: Do not get involved with anyone who is divorced with children!!![/quote] Your first paragraph makes sense. About your 2nd paragraph: it would have been totally fine to be involved with someone with kids, as long as the expectation for the stepparent is just to be a nice/fun aunt or uncle. The problem is: too often the stepmom is expected to be a "mom", versus the stepdad is only expected to be a nice uncle.[/quote]
