i had a step father from age of about 7,i liked him whilst i was young ,hated him when i was a teenager,lots of fights ,not physical ,but he didnt like me coming home drunk ect,then when i grew up i appreciated what he had done for me,and untill he died 2 years ago we got on well,

Caz never got on with my step gran and neither did my mum, my aunt only visited her as there was family stuff in her house and she didnt want her sons getting it. Apparently my grandad said very soon after their wedding why had he done it. I was given the choice of whether or not she was invited to my wedding, asked mum and she didnt mind if I didnt. Cant remember what she did to me infact I think it was the lack of any feeling that did it. After my grandad died she waited til the very end of the time limit to contest a will then did it, why not do it straight away. Only thing that I remember about her was her name was Ann. Makes me sound heartless doesnt it suppose if my grandad had lived longer as I got older I might of got to like her.

Hi Caz, I 'get on' ok with my stepmother, though I don't necessarily like her. Mainly it is because my Dad wanted me to accept her as a second 'Mum' which I just could not do. Especially as she was the woman who caused my parents to break up. I didn't hold any grudges, but it took a long time for my Dad to realise I would never accept her as anything other than his wife.

I have a step daughter, we don't get on

Do those of you who are step kids get on with your step parents and those who are step parents have a good relationship with your step children? Very interested in your views as both sides affect me personally, Thanks, caz xxxxx
