I loved my stepmothers very much.....but also there was tremendous pain when the marriages did not work for my father (my father had custody). You are being smart and keeping your distance in this child's life. You are being honest. If she can handle the relationship that way it has been going fine...if not she should let go and you too.

“Psychotherapy works by going deep into the brain and its neurons and changing their structure by turning on the right genes.
