My Stepmother Cannot Replace My Mother

By  | 

My mother died when I was eight. My father didn’t want to marry for a long time after her death. When this finally happened, people started asking me do I agree with my stepmother. I don’t know why it is so interesting to people,  but in time I got used to such questions. It’s rude to ask this question to anyone, especially a child, but who cares about hurting someone these days? 

I have never called my stepmother “mum” and never will. My mother was one unique person for me, and I think no one should seek the reasons for that. It would be like asking a mother who is her favorite child. Some things are inexplicable. 

However, although my stepmother can never take my mother’s place, it doesn’t mean that immediately follows a negative story. 

MY STEPMOTHER CANNOT TAKE MY MOTHER’S PLACE BECAUSE SHE HAS HER PLACE! 

Yes! My stepmother is a woman with all her faults and virtues, and she deserves her way of life. If that woman accepted me as her child, it doesn’t mean that she should take on all the features that our mother had. We are all individuals and unique people. Probably there are things she does much better than my mother or much worse, but how much of a right do we have to impose on her? 

Just because she is the second wife, doesn’t mean that her each step has to match my mother’s? 

Give her a chance! 

In fairy tales and cartoons, stepmothers always have evil characteristics. We are used to talking about “evil stepmothers,” perhaps unconsciously, but this is very important in the upbringing of each child. Listening only to such examples, the child will think that all stepmothers are evil. 

That woman, therefore, was sentenced to failure even before she came to our house. We all have prejudices against her, and we think she came to take our mother’s place. That’s why we reject her and don’t give her a chance. 

Do not teach your kids that! 

Mother is ONE. But a stepmother can be a very IMPORTANT WOMAN IN YOUR LIFE. 

I thank my “evil stepmom” who talked to me about my bad grades and hid my secrets from dad. Thank you for being on my side and defending me. 

I thank her for saying only beautiful things about my mother and for taking me on her travels. I thank her for my birthday cake and my little sister. 

My evil stepmom was so evil that she even approved some of the things my father hadn’t. She was so evil that she forgave me when I told her that she is only my stepmother and will never be my mother the last time we argued. 

She was so evil that she understood my suffering, and yet she agreed to stay there. 

My evil stepmother is a GREAT WOMAN. 

And you call it what you want.
