[QUOTE="nlj, post: 641241, member: 17650"] It can be hard to be a step-parent. My husband is my son's step-father. He mostly doesn't offer any opinions and rarely questions anything I do regarding my son. I think he's still waiting for my son to grow up (he's 27) and doesn't really take any of his issues seriously. He doesn't have the pain and sadness that I have. I am fulltime step-mother to my husband's youngest daughter (she's 10). I have been her stepmother since she was 1 year old, but she still calls me by my christian name, not 'mum'. As Shakespeare said "what's in a name, a rose by any other name would smell as sweet". It's not important. What is important is that as members of a step-family you have to recognise and nourish the primary relationship. That is the relationship between you and your husband. I hope you and your husband can talk through everything and come out as a team and draw strength from it together. [/QUOTE]
