this is not directed to or at you, but Twitty is NOT her step-father.....he is only married to Natalees Mother......Natalee has a loving and ever-present Father who was never absent, estranged, or deadbeat in Natalees life. It is less than ethical for the press to pretend that jug is her stepfather, and difficult for me to understand why jug plats along with it.....Dave, of course, is not into such pettiness, and is secure in his roleand presence in Natalees life and the job immediately at hand. When one has a Father such as Dave, the idea of a step-father is preposterous.

Jug IS Natalee's STEP father. What would you have Natalee call him? This is my mother's husband? This is the second man my mother married? There is nothing derogatory about having a step father, especially a loving one.

"There is nothing derogatory about having a step father, especially a loving one."

Amen to that.
