It was pretty clear since I was small that I was here to be a Mam! I’m the eldest of 5 and I loved being a big sister, taking care and watching out for my siblings.
I left home to go to Italy at 17 and by the time I was 25 I consciously decided I was ready to bring a little angel into this world. My beautiful Lucy was born and after 3 years her Dad and I split.
I rared her on my own, it came easy to me and I loved every minute 💞
Fast forward 19 years and Chloé came into my life!
She was 4, her Dad had split up when she was only 8 months so I knew enough time had passed!
What I didn’t realize was the hardships that were to unfold. Wow! being a step-Mam is a tough job.
It’s a role that’s often undefined and sometimes misunderstood!
& here’s the thing a good step-Mam doesn’t replace, she adds.
I became a steady presence, not through biology, but through consistency, compassion, and care.
Offering love everyday without expectation, and support, without overstepping!
We all know the bond I have with Lucy T, unbreakable, built on a foundation of being there always with unconditional love. Today I can say that I have that bond with Miss Chloé, she is my little pal and we love each other dearly.
So if you are a step-parent out there, remember that patience and love prevail 💪🫶
& for the parents remember the saying “it takes a village” Isn’t that what we all want? for our kids to be loved unconditionally 💗💗
