I am a step-kid; adopted by my step-father at 2 due to my biological father’s permanent incarceration in Walpole MA (with no hope of parole) for being a piece of human shit.

We are also a soon-to-be parents AND we are going to be the adoptive parents of my niece and nephew due to incarceration-of-both parents (Breaking Bad was based in New Mexico for a reason) then the suicide of my older biological brother, (who apparently took after my biological dad), despite being a National Merit Scholar and getting a degree in chemistry. Smart, but lazy and a liar.

My step-father/adoptive father rocked. He was a Marine, a legit Vietnam-era hero, and fantastic. I love my half-bothers and sisters and love him. He and I are good friends. He taught me to ride a horse, shoot, love the county, ski, work hard, shake hands, and generally be a man. He is my REAL father.

My wife is a little spooked about being insta-mom, but the kids are very young, which is very important, I think.[/quote]

Damn Ruff, that’s crazy. She’s only a little spooked? She’s quite the trooper.[/quote]

Oddly enough, it was her idea.

We took the kids in the day the parents got arrested and she quickly fell in love with them (and vice versa). She’s a nurse practitioner and just really likes kids.

Alright, you having a step father was good for you.

I am not trying to be a dick here, for a change, but you posted a few things about your mother.

Was it good for your step father too?

Yes, I think it was. He had a child with a non-Apache and she ran off to California with the kid, who we never saw, so we filled a void, I think.

My mom is a highly-functioning alcoholic (accountant – drunk by dinner/gets up at 5:30 am and starts over type) and a pretty mean drunk, but my step dad and mom grew up together, so he knew the drill. The stereotype of the drunk Indian exist for a reason.

She was (and is, oddly, despite basically eating no real food) very attractive/thin and they always had a good sex/personal life (which I heard – gross!). She’s over 50 and looks like a hot 30. She didn’t run around, was a good bread winner, and could function in polite society.

Anyway, they had three kids together, all of whom are upstanding citizens, and who don’t drink at all, so he got that, too.

Never treated my brother or me different. In fact, they all say I was, and am, his favorite kid. Financially, it worked very well, since I bought his company and employed him just enough that he can ranch and still have insurance etc.

The only loser was my older brother and he didn’t cause trouble at home – good student, graduated college, but just a complete lazy fuck/liar/scumbag. He didn’t start bringing problems home until he was in his 20s and too good to work (and liked his drink and bar whores).
