This article was shared with me today, WOW. I’m the bonus mom and my son was killed in a head on collision. As I read this article I felt every bit of what was shared. I’ve put my feelings on the back burner, played defense in order to protect my husband and other children, had those feelings of I don’t matter I’m JUST the bonus mom. At the three month anniversary as the date and day were exactly the same as the day my son was killed I came crashing down. I finally gave in and texted the counselor and said “I can’t fix it”! I can’t fix my it, my husbands, my other kids and whatever else “it” is. Thank you for sharing this article as I looked and looked in the beginning for an article or something for bonus/step parents I found very few.
