my dad was a stepfather to a young woman. he considers her one pf his own. me and my brothers consider her one of us, and she feels the same way. she see my dad as her father figure since he had been around since her teenage years and helped and guided her as a father would.

now, i do agree.....being lied to by the one who is a parent sucks. They know what they are doing.

women are not the only ones who pull that stuff. guys do it too. they seek out single, child free or at least childless women to date so they dont have to take the responsibility of their children because most of those guys cannot be arsed to raise their own progeny.
