Hi James,

I in no way wish to imply that all or even most step mothers are worse than biological ones! Far from it! I am only drawing on my own personal experiences and those of some others on this forum. I make no generalisations whatsoever! I am sure that in many instances step parents make better parents than biological ones! And vice versa!
