Dear beautiful child,
I want you to know that I don't always think it will succeed, you and me and your father. I don't always believe and believe that I can be you and the people he needs. I have miserably failed in a few days. Sometimes I feel resentful, I take it out to you. However, we have these awesome little moments. Subtle moments make people feel stressed and sleepless nights. As a stepmother, you deserve every second of my own struggle. It is not you who need to change. You made me angry. that's me. This is my own pride, selfish anger, causing distance and tension. You have not done anything wrong. Let me repeat it. You have not done anything wrong. I never intended to make you think you are a problem. I hope that one day you can really understand this.
I hope that you understand that being a stepmother is both a privilege and a very complicated privilege. Without a manual, we continue to learn anytime, anywhere. No step family is exactly the same. However, as your stepmother, you have already achieved an unmeasurable return. You have taught me compassion, sensitivity and patience. As a stepmother, I have provided many opportunities to learn and "strengthen". Sometimes I did it. It feels great to be around you. Other times I didn't strengthen, I hope I have. Most of the time I am learning how to be your stepmother. For a while I chose to go back and let your father do most of the parenting because I don't know what I should do. I don't have it yet. But one thing I do know is that I love you, who you are growing up to. Yes. I do. No conditions. You are in my heart, as if you are my own daughter.
And now you are getting old. I saw you grow into this beautiful, kind, creative person with his own ideas, opinions and views of the world. I hope that you can embrace things that make you particularly wholehearted. I hope that you can grasp your unique family situation and create a great story from it. your story. who are you. You are not your mother, your father, your stepfather or me. You are not a cousin, a neighbor, a classmate. You are you. Who are you, it's great.
My wish to you is that you know how much you are loved. And I hope you know how much you have changed me and my heart as a woman and a mother. You are helping us to raise our son [your brother] in a home full of joy. Your goodness grows and teaches him kindness. Your love and kindness teach his love and kindness. You may not know, but he respects you.
I know that you have a lot of people talking about life and about life. I may or may not be listed on the best list of these people. But let me share with you something I want you to carry with you: Be brave in your life. Make the most of your choices. Share your gift and your joy in the world. You are too valuable, too special. If you need me, please let me know that I am waiting for you here.
Always love,
Your stepmother
