[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hate that if you aren’t completely bonded with your step child you’re considered an awful person. My SS bio mom actually thanked me for never crossing the line and trying to be his “mom” We don’t have custody, so his bio mom is actively in his life. He knows I’m a trusted adult he can depend on, but his mom is his mom. I’ve been in his life since he was in elem school (he’s not in Hs) and this is how it’s always been. I never wanted to make him feel uncomfortable by forcing affection, or disrespect his mom. I think it all depends on the custody arrangements and age of SC. [/quote] Sad that you think being completely bonded with a SC requires you to cross that line. [/quote] Who is this Pollyanna? In most cases, stepkids dont see you as a parental figure. Just their parent's spouse. They dont need another mom or dad.[/quote]
