Should I Tell My Stepmom About My Dad's Affair? 

Adjusting to a new family can be challenging. The urge to get closer to one’s stepchildren is overwhelming because, without that, one might feel like they are not filling the shoes of the stepparent properly or they are not “enough.” 

Feelings like that are expected. Still, it is best not to let those feelings push us into doing crazy things that might threaten the fragile, barely-formed bond between them and their stepchildren.

Should I Tell My Stepmom My Dad Had an Affair?

For the story’s sake, we’ll call the young lady Liz. Liz thinks her 40-year-old stepmom, Arielle, is immature and acts like a 9-year-old. For example, she says she’s the type of person who makes fun of someone for having a hearing aid or wearing glasses.
