I was a stepchild and ADORED my stepmothers (2). My dad was an alcoholic and my mom's mental illness made her incapable of taking care of us......
But when my dad left these women.... I was devastated. He let go of them but
I kept them in my life.
I see you understand the horrible things your girlfriend went through. Be careful about being the "knight in shining armor....that can wear off. It would be hard to know at the age you are right now how you are going to feel later if you do not have your own children. The relationship is very new yet. No one has to make big life decisions right away.
