My parents divorced when I was six. She remarried about a year later. My stepfather raised me, best thing that ever happened to me. He was always there for me, never raised a hand against me, though I knew he was fully capable of kicking my arse.
He was also one of the smartest men I ever knew. His advice was invaluable to my growth. I honored him by giving his name to my son. Instead of being the "3rd" (I was a Junior), Francis was my son's middle name.

Did he maintain contact, exercise joint custody, provide emotional and financial support, etc.?
Did he remain in your life?
