I Am a Stepmother
First of all let me say that I'm not exactly a step mom. I'm not married to the dad and I don't know if I would ever be. But my love for him and his kid is way much bigger than this.
I never liked children, or knew how to act around them, or wanted one, but I accept the irony of the destiny to make me fall in love with a man, who has a daughter.
Her existence was never an issue, he never pushed her on me, and I didn't ask unless I really wanted to know. But in time, I met her and fell in love with her, like I love her dad. And although I never met THE MOM, I always was thinking of her with the best of feelings, because my boyfriend says she is a great mother.
Anyway, long story short, the kid got sick. Since my parents are both doctors I offered my moms' services, because she into alternative medicine and I grew up with her methods. Turns out the kid is not as sick as it seems it's just a flu. But the crazy irresponsible mother decides she's not going to continue the treatment, because she doesn't know how.
And then turns the fight about why he should always be right? (I think he made the mistake to tell her that it's my mother who recommended the treatment, which is probably the reason she's acting all crazy).
I am just an observer in this whole madness so I don't have a say in anything.
I have so many issues about a boyfriend who has a child, but am I crazy to think that the most important thing here is the kid to get better? Why is she so ... i don't even know what a word to use. And I write for a living. Damn!
