I saw the insults you took, and meant to write to you privately. My real dad was a step dad and adopted my half brother...there are fine men in the world who take care of the children that weren’t theirs to begin with.
But as I said on another thread about this subject, those stepdad’s (who had to be boyfriends at one point) don’t take their children to the emergency room to show everything is ok - so emergency room staff get a skewed view I believe.
Thank you for the kind words. I’m just floored by some of the comments directed towards the mother. I just don’t get it.
