Real life of a stepmom…

Hi. I’m not going to use my real name. In fact, I don’t plan to use any real names on this blog. Maybe I will someday. Who knows. I am trying something out so we will see how this actually goes. I am a stepmom. I have been married to the love of my life for 4 years and love the three kiddos he brought with him more than life itself. I don’t have any children of my own, not yet anyway.

I’ve decided that I need an outlet. The insanities that come along with an ex, biomom, societal stigmas, “just” being the stepmom… have started getting to me. Unless you are a stepmom, understanding the juggling act that is assigned to that title is hard to fully grasp. Continually sharing the endless drama with friends and family who, bless them, try their very best to listen and understand has started to make me feel like a burden. So, here we are. If you are reading, welcome! Thanks for being here. Thanks for listening to the ramblings of a stepmom. Maybe they can help you feel like you are not alone. Maybe they will help you see the world through a different lens. Maybe you’re just here to get through the work day with a little distraction. Whatever the reason you are reading this, as long as you are not my husband’s ex, welcome! And if you are my husband’s ex, I hope you are entertained with the crazy nonsense you put us through also, don’t get your panties in a twist.
