STEPHANIE'S LIFE JUST GOT MORE INTENSE.

Stephanie called a few days ago. Her oldest step-daughter contacted her and said that she was tired of her real mom getting drunk. Kari said she was moving back in with Mike & Stephanie. Jacob is already living with them because their real mom can't (or won't) handle him. I beieve from the conversation with Stephanie, the one daughter that hasn't had much to do with Mike & Stephanie for quite awhile will also be moving into their home. Stephanie is pretty stressed out. I told her that she was strong enough to do this. I reminded her that in the long run, it will be worth it. She knows that I'm speaking from experience because of me being her step-mom. We have such a good relationship. Having her also be a step-mom has brought us much closer. She appreciates everything that I did for them as they were growing up.
