Reader Be Warned: My Opinion is NOT the "norm"

![]() NOT every step parent wants to be deeply involved with raising their partner's kids from previous relationships. (Now, before you jump to conclusions, read the post in its entirety). I have been on both ends of the spectrum when it comes to my level of involvement. My level of involvement seems to have reduced from my prior relationship to my current one. There are lots of factors that make the situations TOTALLY different. I, for one, believe in supporting my partner. I am not trying to replace a parent, be a third parent or compete with a parent. I simply support my partner's needs to ensure he is the best father he can be. I do not build relationships with the mother, I do not co-parent with her and I definitely do NOT share her motherly duties/responsibilities. At the end of the day, it's their child and to avoid unnecessary conflicts, I limit my level of involvement. I simply can not assist with raising a child (or children) who is (are) being raised "differently". I will end with - Respect and Obedience isn't taught to everyone.

Family - The definition of family use to be so simple when I was young. You had a husband, a wife, kids and maybe a family pet, in the immediate family. Extended family included the grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. The older I got, my family became those who I surrounded myself with. My blood relatives are indeed my blood relatives. But my family are those who I trust, the ones that I talk to and the people that know who I am. Because we socialize, talk to one another and are connected with each other. We support each other, praise each other, confide in one another AND keep in real (even when real hurts). We speak directly to each other, we resolve issues and we celebrate victories.
My family consists of more people that are NOT my blood relatives - than it does of those that are. |
