This woman is a SM and a SD. So she can see it from both perspectives.

I read this a few years ago, when things were really bad between the SDs and myself. It brought back a lot of memories from my childhood and my stepmother. This really helped me to put things in perspective, and better understand my stepkids. I thought I'd share it with you too.
