This one goes out to the children who have your heart (or the stepmother who does).

Absolutely they are your children! If you provide for them, help provide, care for and love them as your own, they are absolutely your children. Your spouse's or significant other's child(ren) are part of your family. Whether they live with you full time or not. Don't let anyone make you feel otherwise. . . . #blendedfamily #blendedfamilies #parenting #parenthood #motherhood #mother #stepmother #stepmama #stepmommy #stepmomlife #stepmom #bonusmom #bonusmama #bonusmommy #bonusmother…

Stepmother defined. Poem. Truth. Love. Misunderstood. Cares. Sad.

I may not have given birth to you, but I will always be here for you and will always love you ♥️

I'm not portrayed as wicked nor do I feel mistreated anymore, but this is all true to most stepmoms.
