I guess the hardest part, to me, about being a step parent is not being the "real" mother, yet because my husband has residential custody, I take on that role most of the time. Then when my step son goes to his mother's house and she starts making decisions about my step son, I get upset.
I know that there is nothing I can do about it. I also know that she has every right to decide certain things when he is at her house.
I guess maybe it would be easier if the bio mom and I were even remotely alike. I pretty much disagree with everything she does, thinks and stands for. I especailly don't agree with how she lives her life because I am afraid that my step son will turn out like her.
It has been a difficult road to walk. I just need to let more go when she does things that are not big issues. I am still working on it!!
