The day I found out my husband had a stepmother and step-sister, and I found it absolutely heart wrenching. I sat there and thought about how lonely and crazy he must have felt to have that woman taking care of him. After that day I never looked back. Today I am the proud mother of a young man. The day I found out he had a step mother and step-sister, I never thought of him in those terms. I have been able to meet some very successful women and I do not consider myself a bad mother..
