I have a stepfather, Steve, at first it was wierd as my bro and I were 11 and 12 and had been used to our mum being the only one to discipline us and then suddenly there was this guy telling us off and (seemed to us) taking over. Didn't help that the day we met him was the day he moved in (it wasn't planned like that - just happened that way).

It worked out OK though, now I think of him as more like my dad than my father whom I don't see very often.

Steve gave me away when I got married and my kids call him gramps and without him and my mum having the boys for me I would never be able to go to uni or have gone back to college and as my mum's disabled, she couldn't have them if Steve didn't do most of the running around after them.

It did confuse my eldest for a bit, as to why he has so many grandparent's, now he refers to my Dad (when talking to me) as "your father"
