This 10-year-old boy, unfortunately, got jilted by a careless stepmom who, even after nearly 8 years of caring for him, didn't consider him one of 'her kids' and acted like he was invisible.
Stepmoms will never replace a kid's biomom, but with enough TLC, hugs, and support, any stepchild could feel the motherly love. A mother-figure is a complicated role to fulfill, so I understand why most children are averse to the concept, but when a kid wholeheartedly loves their stepmom and it's not reciprocated, now it's time to start rethinking this not-so-blended family.
When u/MkUrF8 first married his new wife, he took on the role of stepdad with so much fervor that he accepted his wife's 4 children from her previous marriage with open arms. Now, with a family of 7, the headcount at the dinner table has grown far more than the love between the stepmom and her stepson, because at her biodaughter's 11th birthday, she insisted on taking photos without the stepson, banishing the black sheep of the family to the side without a care. Keep scrolling to read how Superdad reacted when the stepmom stepped all over her relationship with his boy.
