Step/Bio Father's Den

My stepdaughter had a dog at her father's house. She had the dog since she was very little. Recently the dog died. She felt bad so he went and bought her another dog. Which would normally be fine.

Ok i have finally taken the step of writing in one of these forums in the hopes i might find some help!ive been with my wife for almost 4 yrs now...she has 2 kids...a 14 yr old girl(which i get perfec

Please let me preface this by admitting that some of what I'm about to say will sound harsh. I'm aware of that. But I feel that I can only get workable advice if I'm honest about what I feel.

Hi all, my first post here after reading a lot, very useful information here including what I found about 'disengagement' which I'm mulling over.

I'll try to be brief while also sharing the major points. Clearly I arrived here for a reason.

Basis:
I am in love with a great woman, she's a single Mom, raised her two 16yo twin girls without the bf in their life whatsoever. I knew this girl 20 years ago and now we are engaged, living together, aiming to be a 4-person family, I aim to be as much of a parental role as I can while knowing I am not 'the' father, and at over a year together much progress has been made, and also many walls have been hit.

I need to express how I'm feeling to people that might understand... maybe I gain another perspective (hopefully) positive that will help me because I am strugling!

New step fathers,

First a little back ground; I am the BF of three teens, and husband to a wonderful Step-Mom.
