My stepdaughter is 23. Her mother passed away shortly before I started dating her dad. I was only 19 and not ready for what that involved. It was a rocky start. There were times that she really didn't like me (especially when she was a teenager!). I made a lot of mistakes. I was young. Too young to be raising a teenager. But, we made it through. We are great friends now. Especially after she had her son. We deffinately grew closer when she was pregnant, and I love that little guy so much.There aren't many people I trust, but she is one of the few people in this world that I know I can count on, and she can say the same about me.
I am proud of our relationship because not everyone gets along with their step-parents. We made the choice to get along, and in the process we've really grown to love each other. It has nothing to do with her dad. I would love her whether I was married to her dad or not. She is one of my closest friends.

I am glad you made it through the rocky years and are now friends! I was a horrible bitch to my stepfather just because he wasn't my father. He started dating my Mom when I was 13. He was wonderful to me, despite my attitude. And now we are friends and I love him. The teenage years are rough for these relationships!
