For those "Steps"....

I'm writing this blog about my day to day experiance and feelings in being a Step Parent figure. I hope that by my writings I can help other step parents or step parent figures. I'm also hoping that maybe I can get some help as well.
Being a step parent is difficult...I'm starting to now see that. And I think that by blogging about this life I have aquired, I can not only help myself but others as well.

With all that said, how about you meet my family....Robert (27) is my loving boyfriend, His two boys Matt (6) and Chris (4), and Me (21).
Me and Robert started dating on Oct 31st, 2008, we live together and do most of the raising of the boys. Matt and Chris went under Roberts residential custody November of 2008 due to problems Roberts ex-wife was dealing with. Since then, we've created our own little family.

And thats just a brief early history of our family, read on to see more...

The Begining...

Hi,

Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Lindsay. I'm 21, living in Kansas, and studying to be a sex/marriage/family therapist. You might think that I'm a normal care free 21 year old, but I'm not.
I have two amazing boys by the names of Matt and Chris. I also have a loving boyfriend, Robert. They are my family. Now you may see this as a normal family, but we're not. You see Robert and I's boys are not really Robert and I's, they are actually Robert and his ex-wife's.
Yes, Matt and Chris are not mine at all. I call myself a Step Parent figure, I'm not married to Rob so the term step parent isn't exactly accurate. But I know what I feel, and I feel as if I'm a parent.
I'm starting this blog because I know that for me, being this step parent figure is one of the hardest things I have ever had to deal with. I'm certain there are other step parents or figures (like myself) who feel the same way. I'm hoping to help myself and others deal with being "step"s or understanding "step"s.
This is why I titled this blog: Beyond the "Step". There's a lot more to us then the fairytale's picture us. We're not evil people that look to ruin our step childrens lives. We love our kids, as if they were our own. And it is this love that we have for our children that makes it so hard to be a "step". We have all the Love, Hope, and Best Wishes of a biological parent, but the title of a "step" and sometimes that can be hard to deal with...

With this, I'll sign off on my first post for now.

Till next time,

A Step


P. S. I can't garuntee that this blog will go anywhere, but I sincerely hope it does.
