You should feel good, even if he isn't receptive!

Yay you is right!!


I think yo uput that very well. And to me it sounds very non judgemental or anything...simply stating the facts. I would imagine he would be very receptive to that.


BE also does not want to be Mr Boss/Dad/Disciplinarian to my DD. We established early on that he will give advice and mentor but not be Mr Rule enforcer. That job is for me. And its a tough one!


But I bet that Builder will find your email to be reassuring. Give him a day or so to cave/think and he'll be right there with you again. I feel certain!

My livein boyfriend and I just started attending Step Family groups because PP was not sure what his role was as a step parent.
