Did you have a step-parent growing up?

When you were growing up, did you have a stepmother or stepfather? I have had a stepfather since I was three, although he is technically my adoptive father. He married my Mom and adopted me afterwards.
I will admit we have never had the best relationship. I won’t go into it, but let’s just say I wish my biological father had been in the picture.
If you had or still have a step-parent, what is your relationship with them like? Did having them in your life make it better or worse?

I had a stepdad from 12 on. Found out he is a piece of shite after mom passed. Wish I’d never met him.

My step-mom would always get stuck in the washing machine

I have a had a step-mom since I was 7. She has been more of a more of a mom to me than my birth mom.

Had a step mother since I was seven. She is a great lady, and I was luck to have her. My Mom passed away when I was five.

No, but my parents were divorced and my mom did get remarried when I was like 24.
I like the guy. He's always been awesome to me and my siblings, but it's hard to call someone in that scenario your step-dad.

My mom married my stepdad when I was in highschool. He's annoying as hell and he doesn't treat my mom very well. Nobody likes him but we tolerate him occasionally for my mom's sake because she loves him for some unknown reason. His own kids from a previous marriage don't even like him and they visit even less than us stepkids. His oldest son hasn't visited in many years. The other one comes for a few hours on Christmas day and that's it. And his daughter visits about as much as us but I suspect that's only because he gives her money occasionally and pays her kids' tuition.

I want a step mom like I see on Brazzers.

No, and I'm eternally grateful my folks are still married.

I had a stepdad, but I had been long out the house by the time he and my mom were married. I never spent a night in their house but did have many social interactions with him over the years.
We'd play golf at least once a month and I'd see him 2-3 times a week at a local restaurant/bar we both frequented. Then there were the occasional nights we'd both wind up in the backroom bar cash poker games.

My mom remarried once. That step dad was abusive and a drunk.
My dad is on his 4th marriage (this one’s lasted 30 ish years). His second wife I would have considered a step mom since we lived under the same roof and what not. She was ok, not great but ok. Her kids I still consider siblings and care for them like blood.
My dad’s 3rd wife I barely met, I was in the military and our op tempo didn’t leave time for me to really be around and that marriage was pretty short. She was a raging alcoholic and dad was in it for the money - she was a widow with a shite ton of prime Nebraska farm land.
The current wife in the early years we didn’t get along. The last decade or so she has become tolerable.

Had a stepdad from 10 to 16. Screw that dude. He cheated on my mom and was occasionally abusive to my brother and me. Have not heard a word from him since my mom took us and left in 1983.

EX step-dad now - world class turd. Did have some upsides he instilled in me, I am not ignorant to that, but mostly just a shite-bag personality to be around. Lived with him and my Mom during the school year. Net contribution, made my life worse.
Still have my Step-Mom - still talk to her a bit, she lives a couple of states away with my Dad. She was kind, while structured with us. I still tell her I love her. As I genuinely appreciate and love her. She treated us well as children. Was with them like 3-4 months a year. Overall, 100% glad to have had her in my life.

Same. I gained a "Step-dad" with step brothers at age 27. We got a long great. My "step-dad" passed away a year ago and I was pretty bummed out about it and still am. I think of my step brothers as real brothers I never had. We're pretty close and stay in touch constantly.
I gained a "step mom" with another step brother about the same time. We get along fine too. I'm not as tight with that step brother only because he is about 25 years younger than me.

No but my mom always made me call the mailman Uncle Jim. It was odd now that I think about it.

Not a step-parent, but I had (and still have) a step-grandfather.
I remember seeing him a handful of times as a kid, but he retired to Florida after my dad’s mom died when I was still quite young. Only seen him once or twice since then, the last time being close to 20 years ago.
It’s interesting that my younger sister and I don’t really consider him our grandfather, since we never really had much of a relationship with him, but he is grandpa to my two older sisters, who spent a lot of time at his house when they were little.
ETA: my aunt (dad’s step sister), uncle and cousins are as close as all my blood relatives. We have a had a great familial relationship with them my whole life.

Yes, and he's wonderful. It's about quality of person, not whether they are step or bio.

This is a common theme/trope for a lot of people.
I do not get it.
