The other night I was having a major low moment in life. Feeling a little sorry for myself, not really liking myself and wondering "why me?" I am a step-mother and have not been able to have any children of my own. (My husband's children live with us full time and visit their Mother, who moved to another state, during school breaks and summer vacation.) In the past when I've felt this way I've searched for some kind of support group for women in my situation but never found anyone I could relate to...until now. I found a website called The Stepfamily Life by Dawn Miller. Wow! Our lives mirror each other in so many ways! For once I did not feel alone; like there was no one out there who understood! Finding Dawn has made an amazing difference in how I view my life and my responsibilities. Thank you Dawn for putting your story out there! I decided to develop my own blog, hoping it will be therapeutic for me and hopefully I will be able to develop some friendships with others that truly get "it"...

I too read Dawn's website and am glad to have found it. It's great to find blogs with people who are in a similar situation.
