Just wanted to say Hi. I am a biological dad as well as a step dad. The step dad side of things really gets me down sometimes and I am hoping to find some similar people for virtual support. I'm into footy, films, real ale, video games (still!)
If there are any step dads or dads in general that want to share tips, troubles etc or just a friendly word, then let me know!
N.D.
Hi there and welcome
We have a few dads in your situation so you should get some advice.
Do you find that you favour your natural child?
Yes I do. I don't really have a bond with my step children for various reasons and I'll not put them in the Welcome thread!
