They should feel grateful for their amicable relationship and leave it at that. You can’t force a sibling relationship between two stepchildren, and you can’t force a stepmom or a stepdad to be accepted into a parental role by the child they’re step-parenting. While it can be difficult for a parent when their child seemingly …

20-year-old refuses to be legal guardian of her 4, 5, and 7-year-old half siblings in the event of her mom and stepdad’s passing: ‘I would be a bad fit for the role’
She is way too young and inexperienced to take that on, and nobody older and more experienced than her will step up. When I was a kid, I didn’t know a darn thing about the Catholic faith, and I thought that someone being a «Godparent» meant that they would take care of their godchild in …
