Should I feel guilty? I love my step dad more than my dad. I'm 11 yo. Three years ago my Mom married Don. He is like the most awesome Dad in the world. He does all sorts of things with me and he helps me when I have a problem. But best of all he makes me feel safe. He tells me he loves me and gives me a hug every night and a kiss on my forehead. My "real" dad is my life but he constantly breaks promises. i am suppose to spend 2 weekends a month with him, but most times he just drops me off at my Grandparents house and I only see him a little bit of the time. When he and mom were married he use to verbally abuse us both, but he never hit us. Recently he got real angry when he found out I started calling Don, Dad. He said "that fucker is not your dad, i am." I can't help how I feel, to me Don is my real dad! I know he loves me.

NO, little man, you don't and shouldn't feel guilty at all!! Your "real Dad" has hurt you time and time again. Your Step Dad gives you genuine love. How you feel is normal and to be expected!

hey there,little man. don't feel guilty! My life is similar to yours. My mom married my step father when I was 7 years old. I am now 15 and I love him so much. He is always there for me. He has never missed a ball game, school activity or anything i've been involved in. He gives me the affection and attention i always craved. My so called real dad is a drunk, drug addict who has never missed a chance to tell me a worthless piece of shit.It's funny, most people are shocked when they find out my step dad is not my "real dad" because we are so close.

If somebody treats you wrong, even if they're related to you by blood, you have every right to replace them with somebody who treats you the way you deserve. It's your life and you deserve to be able to surround yourself with people who show you the kindness you deserve and cut the people out of your life who treat you like you're nothing.
