[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 513748, member: 84"] Ya know, this is one of the reasons I went above and beyond for katie from the moment her Dad and I decided to marry. And for all the dysfunction / gfgness in my family, I can honestly say she was treated no differently than any of the rest of the grandchildren ect. Now this most likely stems from the man we call Dad being Mom's 2nd husband.........and if one of his grown kids dared to so much as look at us sideways (we were the ages of his grandkids) there was trouble..........But they never did. Oddly enough even after they divorced, we were one huge family. Oh we didn't see as much of his kids and grandkids after the divorce. We did see them from time to time though. And when he passed away, his bio kids made certain my bros were pallbearers along with his bio sons........and we were included in all the services and the huge family meal they had following. They even invited my mom. (now that was above and beyond lol ) I haven't seen any of them since Dad's funeral when Travis was a newborn. I'm not sure I'd recognize them, I might, but I can't be certain.......at least with some of them. Others I'd know anywhere. But I do remember the sting, for both me and my Dad, when someone who didn't know me would ask him who I was and he had to explain I was his step daughter. I have never, not once, introduced Katie to someone that way. She's my daughter. If hard pressed, I'll explain. Otherwise that's it. (((hugs))) [/QUOTE]
