Howthe ancientsbelieved that the Earth stood on three pillars.
And the names of these pillars are: responsibility, support and love.
And not a drop of hypocrisy.
When asked how many children he had, he always clarified that the OP was his stepdaughter.
Perhaps because the conversation was witnessed by the girls grandparents.
The stepfather again did not miss the moment to express his indignance to her.

This is fundamentally wrong, but, alas, it happens, and quite often.
In any case, this woman did exactly the right thing by confronting her stepfathers double standards.
In the end, he got exactly what he always insisted on.
The daughter is not his and its not he who will walk her down the aisle.

Food, shelter, clothing, etc.?
Thats their job, its what we sign up for when we become parents/step parents, another commenter added.
Geez… send him a hallmark thank you card and call it a day.
So do you, dear readers, agree with this viewpoint?
