Your dad has remarried. You weren’t looking forward to it because you love your mom and no one can replace her.
What do you do when your step-mom turns out to be a wonderful, loving and caring mom? You really like her, but you don’t want your biological mom to know – you don’t want her to think she’s been replaced and you certainly don’t want to hurt her feelings.
Here’s the best case scenario: Honesty is the best policy. Be honest with your biological mom about your feelings towards your stepmom. You don’t want your bio mom to feel jealous or think she needs to be in competition with your new mom.
Just remember – you are the child, they are the adults – let them worry about how their own feelings. You just keep on loving the ones around you. Everything will turn out just fine.
