I have been trying to introduce myself for months - but I haven’t – partially because I am very private.

Also, because I feel guilty - I have been doing the "on hands" step mom thing for about 4 months and it has already ended in crisis. Most of you have been doing it for years and are still dealing with it. How do I have the right to complain about anything?

Here is my story in as short a form as I can give it.
