Well I have been on and off this for months now and I have to say, it really makes me appreciate and feel pretty lucky with my situation. Everyones story is different but we all have one thing in common...being a step parent. A little about my life, I am not a step parent yet however will be in the near future. I have an incredible boyfriend who has a wonderful four year old son. He and I were only friends when his son was born and long story short he and bm were no longer together at that point. I have been in his sons life since he was an infant and seriously for the past two years.
