Hey STers, I wanted to reach out and say a quick thank you to all the women here who support eachother, encourage eachother and stick up for eachother. I have had so many kind responses and PM from members of this site, it's truly made a difference. You are keeping me strong when I am unable to be strong for myself.

Step parenting is a lonely little island, foggy and dark and off-limits to complaining. This is a safe and wonderful place I feel I can be myself and be validated in how I feel.

So thank you again, everyone who has taken time to boost up another woman who otherwise might be sinking. Whether you know it or not, you make a big difference.
