As we all at this point are aware family relationships are tricky.
And the relationships between stepparents and stepchildren are no exception.
Just like in todays story.
But when she and her family ended up in financial trouble, she turned to him for help.
Yet, the help he offered wasnt good enough for her.
Also, she had two other children from before Juana and Iago, which were the post authors stepchildren.
Sadly, in the mans opinion, the father of his two stepchildren isnt a good person.
For example, he rarely paid child support.
The posts author never said anything, as he didnt want to start drama in front of the kids.
Both children, especially Juana, love their dad, as he can do no wrong in their eyes.
The OP didnt say anything in this case either, as he stated that this wedding wasnt about him.
At least the OP has a bond with his other stepchild Iago.
He even introduced his fiance and hand-delivered a wedding invitation to him.
At the same time, since the mothers passing, Juana has never contacted her stepfather.
In fact, the last time they saw each other was at the funeral.
However, recently, Juanas family went through some financial troubles and lost their house.
So, since they needed a place to live, she called her stepfather and asked to move in.
After all, she can take the upstairs rooms he offered.
Especially after that someone let them know that theyre not an irreplaceable part of their life for sure.
