I frequent this site often, even thought I'm not yet officially a step mom. I've been with my fiancee for over four years and we are getting married at the end of the month. His son is currently 8 years old. I've known him since he was just a little baby. I love him so much that it hurts me when he's not with us. I wish he lived with us full time. The background: BM and BD were never married. He was having doubts about being with her when she proposed getting pregnant because of biological clock ticking.

This may be the last posting I put for a while now. Me and my husband came home from a friend's house last night to find SS's room empty and the baby's stuff missing as well. On our door he put a note saying he moved out. He doesnt want to tell us where he moved to in the city because he does not want others to find out. He said he would contact us in a few weeks by email. He changed his cell number, we tried calling many times. He thanked us for everything and stapled a check for $5000 to the note.

Been a while..trying to cope with the whole STEP issue...

SD20 is slowly entering DH's life again. We've had her blocked from our phones since mid-January since we caught her stealing here and she blasted me, telling me she hated me and I was her father's worst mistake.

Since then, DH began a new job that enables him to have a company cell phone. Alas - he has been calling her from that cell phone. Just like I knew he would. Not alot - but yes, he's been calling his princess.

I am a full time SM with no children of my own and not able to have any (thanks to a stupid DH when married to EX). Anyways when DH and I first started dating he had EOW visit and some school holidays, things were great. He was attentive to his daughter and we did things as a family.
Now fast forward a few years. DH and I get married and about 10mos after that SD moves in with us at the age of 9. Things are okay I am given full permission to treat SD like she is mine and we all fall into place. So you might as what is the problem.
