Kaggi60 I'm sorry you felt cut off at the funeral and I do hope that you are able to find a way to alleviate the upset you are feeling. flowers

I dont think any step-parent will be able to love a stepchild the way they love their own.
crazyH I can only say that in my experience you are wrong to suppose that a step-parent relationship cannot be every bit as loving as that of a biological parent.

I am sorry you have been so upset; people can be very cruel.

My husband is step father to my girls and has worked hard all his life and been there for them always. I presume you are referring to the biological children. I am sure your stepmother/father would not have wanted this at all.

I am truly sorry you have been so hurt flowers

How awful for you Kaggi60.......lets get one thing straight. I dont think any step-parent will be able to love a stepchild the way they love their own. Perhaps if they didn't have children of their own , there's a possibility the stepchild will be considered, loved and treated as their own. Were there children of their own!
So, was it your step father's funeral you went to? Is your mother still alive?
Or are you referring to your stepmother whose funeral you went to?
My ex husband re-married and his new wife are my children's step mum. I can assure you there is no love or loyalty there. Ofcourse my children are adults and they go just to visit their father.
Don't feel that all is lost and that you have been cut off....try to expand a little bit more about your situation. In the meanwhile , I'm sending you some flowers

I think that you'd have to be adopted by the step parent to become their legal child. I'm sorry you're upset both by the loss of your "parent" and by the treatment you had. flowers

I always thought if you was brought up by your step parent you would be classed as their child. Not in my case was cut off like I did not exist went to the funeral I do not exist it was really upsetting. All them years gone.
