I suspect the STEP dad.
There are few things more dangerous to a young child than mommy's new boyfriend.
Very true. And statistically it makes only a small difference if mom and her boyfriend have a piece of paper from the government saying they’re “married” (which is apparently the case here). Government licenses don’t trump biology.
i'm sure lots of people have had positive experiences with step-fathers but the numbers show more abuse and violence happens at their hands than actual fathers. just because it may not be pleasant to hear doesn't mean it ain't true.
