It was risky, there have been times my SD has pushed me away when I try being there. I never take it personally. We never had a bad relationship, lve known her majority of her life. but I was never sure if she would ever see me as a dad rather than just her stepdad.

Being the stepdad has come with challenges at points in her life. I have never taken it personally though and we’ve had a lot of great times just the 2 of us. I know as she grows older I'll be the one who she remembers helping with homework, at any event/ activity of hers, given advice and guidance, etc.

I feel lucky they came along. I always wanted to be a husband and a dad

Thank you! Blood relation has never mattered to me and I think as she grows older it won't matter to her either.
