If so please help! My hubby's a GOOD Stepdad. Its been 1+1/2yr. we've been married. My daughter, 13 & him LOVE one another but she's VERY resistant in many ways. She's in contact w/ her biological Dad & thinks the world of him. That's fine but she's just..I don't know how to say it: all consumed w/ him, who's never taken 'good' care of her, doesn't pay child support, had to be tracked down to help out, etc. I decided long ago not to judge or chase him (for her sake: time, $$) anymore. He never missed a b-day or Christmas & that's more than enough for her. Her Stepdad wants to adopt her, give her our name, takes excellent care of her. BUT she's become CLINGY to her bio. dad who lives 5 hrs. away. WHY? They talk through 'myspace' almost daily. He's remarried w/kids - that's great! My Q's are: what names can she call her Stepdad - she won't do "Dad" & the 1st name thing's KILLIN me. As she grows will she appreciate him at all? It seems all that's reserved for a deadbeat. Help, please.
