I’m sure many of you can relate, but for those of you who can’t relate to the complicated nuance of blended family relationships, please know: there are a lot of preconceived notions about step-parents and sadly many of the assumptions can turn out to be true. I have heard just about everything regarding who & what I am to OUR boys (as the bonus mom) based upon other’s experiences / misconception of blended/step-families.
(I never would have dreamt of getting to write a post like this all those years ago but am so thankful that I can today.)
