Melania Trump opens up about her relationship with her stepchildren: 'My role is not to replace their mothers'

Melania Trump has made a series of revelations in her latest memoir.

“Stepping into a marriage with Donald, I found myself navigating the intricate dynamics of his big family,” she explained.

“My approach to building relationships with Donald’s children has always been grounded in love and respect,” Melania said, adding that Donald's older children were already "more independent" and Tiffany Trump was in her "formative years" at the time.

“I recognize their individuality, understanding that, as their stepmother, my role is not to replace their mothers but to nurture a supportive and amicable connection. This perspective has enabled me to cultivate meaningful relationships with each child in a unique way," she wrote.

“While I may not agree with every opinion or choice expressed by Donald’s grown children, nor do I align with all of Donald’s decisions, I acknowledge that different viewpoints are a natural aspect of human relationships,” she confessed.

Melania continued; “I have focused on creating an environment where everyone feels free to express themselves authentically. Rather than impose my views or critiquing others, I have aimed to be a steady presence, someone they can rely on.”

“I understand that being possessive is not conducive to a healthy family dynamic. Each member requires their own space, and I have made it a priority to respect that need," she concluded, admitting that she prefers to "communicate" instead of being "controlling."

Being a step-parent can be tough. Some do it better than others, but it seems like she’s got her head screwed on straight about how to go about it.

I give her credit for putting up with Ivanka trying to upstage Melania during the first 6 mos or so of the first term.

I listened to her interview on Mark Levin Show. She is a class act and I had no idea she is an industrial engineer. Same as me. I would have rather gone to college with her rather than Fresno, but oh well...
