i cant go on a hunting trip, or cook a meal without missing my stepdad.
we had a rocky start as well. in a way, that let my younger brother gain the upper hand in getting along with him. they were buds, and i was always the "fringe".
in the end, i shut my face and really observed. he was so good to my mom, and really good to me as well. he taught me how to cook, and really understand a kitchen.
i wish your family well. best of luck to them.
