Your post brought tears to my eye. It breaks my heart that good guys like you get treated poorly when you just want to be there for your stepsons. My H has 2 wonderful sons that put him on a pedestal and he broke up our family, got caught and lied to them about it. He has traded days with me so he could hang out and go golfing so I've had our boys 3 weekends in a row and be hasn't even bothered to text them. (I'm sure he's enjoying his OW.)
I'm so glad you are working with kids and getting the appreciation you deserve. You know as well as I do that biology doesn't mean squat. It's the time, attention and love that matter. Keep doing what your doing. Who knows what the future holds? Keep being you - you will have a positive impact on the children you coach and parent (S13 etc). I believe God has a better plan for us all. Keep fighting the good fight - we will get there. I have to believe that.
