I would like to say, that initially when I found this I was finding life as a step parent really, really tough. I have found support here in spades - even if silently lurking on other threads - it is great to know that I am not the only person experiencing the ups and downs of step parenting.
It is a really, really hard job, whatever the set up, and it is a topic that is hard to find common ground with others in RL.
I have recently noticed a trend whereby we seem to feel that it is ok to mud sling and critisise others on here, some of late have got really nasty... I think we should remember that we are all different, our situations are all different and the threads posted on here show only a tiny window of a persons life and situation.
I'm all for an exchange of opinion - I find that useful, but do we need to get so personal? It takes a lot for people to post their fears/ innermost feelings on here and I think it's time we brought it back to what it is - a support thread for others in similar situations.
