my stepfather was a decent role model but is even more stubborn than you (just messing with you) and definitely had his flaws.. our relationship has grown over the years though.. more of a mutual respect for our ability to continue on and overcome adversity I guess.. I haven't talked to my mom in lord knows how long yet I still talk to him

We split when she was two and at age three she came to live with me full time as her mother moved away leaving her with her parents. That night I had to tell my daughter that mommy had moved away and when the tears fell it changed my life forever. From that day on my life was for her and while not spoiling her I gave her the love and attention she needed as a chid. The funny part was she cried for a few minutes then asked if we had any cookies? We went down had cookies and we moved on with her/our life. I myself was just a kid at age 23 but I had to grow up real fast but it was worth every minute of it. Now I get to live those moments again at age 45 with our daughter of 3 and while people ask me if I'm crazy I say yes but the minute I come home and she comes running to me saying daddy, daddy, daddy, I know I'm not.
