StepMonsters and other scary second parenting issues

I had both a step-dad and a step-mom beginning at the age of 15; both are no longer in my life.

My Step-dad died in 2007 after he and my Mom had a love/hate releationship for 32 years. He was AMAZING to my sister and I, and loved my daughter like his own. Unfortunately he was a bastard to my Mom, and that colors my memories of him.

My Step-mom was WONDERFUL until my Dad died in 2000; then it was as if she never knew us. They were married 21 years. While I understand the pain she felt when she saw us, my child couldn't understand why she lost both of them....and THAT I cannot forget; although for myself I forgave her long ago.

After finding me on Facebook, she has tried to "get together" a couple of times. Ummmm, no.

My Kasey is a great step-parent to my child...one more reason to love her!
