Hi all, I've been a Stepmum for 10 years, full time for 4 due to bio Mums passing and I am so so happy to see that mayne a positive, helpful Stepmum forum finally exists! I remember times when I was so broken and stressed being told by bio Mums that I wouldn't understand because I'm "not a real Mum" and told by the stepmums in the extremely negative groups that I found that I should just leave and calling their step children 'skids'. I really hope we can build this community to provide actual support when needed and if any of you want to talk things out I'm more than happy to help. Xx Swordfish
