We have been married for six years. I am raising my husband’s son from my first marriage (he is 10 years old). We don’t have any relations with his mother, if only to ask some questions. The mother herself is not particularly interested in the child, and he has grown cold towards her. The only thing she is interested in is material gain. She received the maternity capital when she gave birth to her second child. Now she is going to another country for permanent residence. And again she needs it to draw an allowance on it. That’s the kind of mom you meet.
He calls me Aunt Sasha. He has only one mother, and we teach him to respect her. After all, in the future this will affect his attitude to women, and in general. He treats me well, he thinks I’m his family. In general he is a complicated child, but he listens to me. His grandmother and husband are too soft in this respect.
We have a child together, he is 3 years old. By the way, the difference between our child and my ex-wife’s second child is only a month old. The stepson separates them in speech: my baby brother and my mom’s baby brother.
I love my child, definitely, just because of what he is. It’s different with my stepson, I love him with my head, that is, I care, show attention and stuff, but not instinctively. I think that’s enough.
