How fortunate that you came to love him so much.<br /><br />I too have a "step-father" who my mother married when I was 49. I refer to him as Bill, or sometimes my mother's husband. He's truly one of the nicest people I've ever met.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4327115642045835307.post-32406439088061584172013-06-05T15:25:35.875-04:002013-06-05T15:25:35.875-04:00Beth...I'm not surprised you didn't know. ...Beth...I'm not surprised you didn't know.

I tried introducing him as my step-father for a while, but I don't think any of us were comfortable with that.<br /><br />Lori...Thank you for the kind words. :)Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06316595488903619354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4327115642045835307.post-75983891248407239902013-06-05T11:43:32.980-04:002013-06-05T11:43:32.980-04:00I think you are a very good writer (and thinker). ...I think you are a very good writer (and thinker).

They married when I was in my 30s, so calling him dad or step-dad is just odd. So I just use his name or say "my mom's husband." Yes, Father's Day can be tricky for many. You sound like you're managing pretty well with the complexities! Karen D.

I'm sorry for the hurting little girl behind the tough rebel! I'm glad that eventually you saw the love that was hidden in strict rules.<br /><br />Love you!Beth Zimmermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07047047792782914757noreply@blogger.com
