Re: Step Moms
i think the expectation that your father's second wife will ever be a mom to you is misplaced. i dont think anyone can take the place of your mom or love you like your mom loves you, and i dont think it should be expected either. it just seems to lead to trauma for the kids and the new parent. if anything, it should be a relationship like that between a kid and a respected aunt or older cousin. "mom" is misleading.
