ILYBNILWY part 4

[Coconut]

I know that what she said probably cut deep, it's a new situation and one that you are probably still processing how you feel about, but I think it's good your D can joke about it, because she too is trying to process everything too.

One thing that I've learned by being both a stepdad and a stepson, is that it doesn't matter what other peoples relationship is with your child, it only matters what your relationship is.

Even though seeing your D with someone else can stir some negative feelings, you hit the nail on the head when you said it's better she gets along with him than the alternative. Her R with her mom or the OM has no impact on her relationship with you.
