Stepparent Drama That’s All Too Common
I don’t know you; this is private
To you, this stepparent is a stranger. This is an outsider. He just got here. When you want to talk to your biological parent about something private, you ask to speak to her in another room. You ask the stepparent to give you two some privacy. This, of course, pains the stepparent and your real parent. But you don’t see why you need to share your personal life with strangers to protect others’ feelings.
