Parents divorced when I was 2, stepdad married mom at 3, I lived with my mom growing up. Good relationships with both dad and stepdad. Didn’t appreciate my stepdad until I became an adult. Always treated me like his own, coached every team I ever played on, raised me right. I think the world of that man now.

I had a similar experience.
In a way I don't blame him because I wouldn't want to raise another man's kid either, I would just not date a woman that had kids though.
I was telling my wife the other day that if we ever divorced, I would just wait until the kids turned 18 to start dating again.

Yes, however, see below — ?? Great man for the most part. Definitely helped make me into the man I am today and I believe I’m relatively successful, or at least not a homeless drug addict.
He was in law enforcement. Strict, and it was an adjustment, but like I said, he was who taught me to shake someone’s hand, look them in the eye, introduce yourself, bought me my first pair of boots, etc…he’s been around 20+ now.
Found out my mom actually cheated on my dad with this guy years later. Now I really have zero respect for either of them. See them regularly. They do not know I am aware of this.
On another note, I feel like people’s kids are legit a coin flip on if they can make it in the real world or become some crazy drug degen.

Is your biological father still around?
Unfortunately, my bio Dad passed away in 2020. I had not seen him since I was about 6. We got back in touch a couple of years before he died, and talked a few times on the phone. Never got that final face to face though, and I’ll always wish we could have.

Yep, had one growing up that was a POS. He was a great football player and Billy Cannon was his best friend in high school. He played in college and some professionally. When my mom married him I was 4 and he was playing semi-pro football. He drank beer (a lot) everyday and reminded me I would never equal up to his great athletic career. Mom left him when I was 16 and I was happy to help her pack.
She met my current step dad and married him around 1989 or so. He treated her like a queen up until she passed in 2020 (Parkinsons). I told my wife if I can love her just half as much as my dad loved my mom, she will be a lucky woman. He is 91, will be 92 in December and is one of my best friends.

Yep. Parents divorced when I was in grade school. He loved my siblings and me as his own. We have a great relationship to this day. My biological father never tried to be one of those tough guys who tries to keep the SF out of the picture. My bio dad is a man I look up to and a hero to me.
