I appreciate this mom’s struggle. Her children now have a stepmother and she’s concerned that it will take away from her relationship with them. Well, I have good news. I don’t care how fond your child becomes of a stepparent you will never lose your significance in their heart. Your bond cannot be replaced. Give them permission and encouragement to like, love, and obey the stepparent. It takes nothing away from you but it blesses them. They have more than enough love for everybody. So do you.
