aw hun, I guess its a risk we all have to take in love and famillies...if he makes your mum happy then it can only be the right to way go...but I totally understand your fears for your mum and not wanting him to be your father when you have one already...but no harm in making him welcome and trying to get along and helping you guys out is there.

You welcome my dad died when I was 21 and my mother went on a man spree a year later, she is now re-married to a fella and happily settled, mind you I am a bit older than you so didnt really effect me too much as I left home when I was 18 for reasons that I do not get on with my mother one bit...etc...but guess you have to move on sometimes and let them do they're own thing and go their own way as they have a life too just like us

Hi, i grew up as part of a 'step' family, but it was kinda diff as i was younger when my mum and dad split, and she re married. And i did not see my real dad for many reasons, Know i am 22, i see my real dad as not my dad, as my step dad was the one who was there through me growing up.

If it was now, i think i would find it tough, but if it made my mum happy then i suppose i would just have too deal with it.
You said you are scared he will hurt her, why Has he done anything that makes you think he would?

Listen i know its tough, but for your mums sake, just let it be. She has too make her own choices and if it's what she wants, then i am afraid its going too happen. If you really dis like him, you just have too grit your teeth. You never know it may be all okay! Which i am sure you would want it too be!

As for him ''playing'' dad/grandad then just let him, he can be there for you and your child, as a ''father/grandfather'' figure can't he?
He knows he is not your real father, but just give him a chance. Let your child know if/when they are old enough who he is, but whats the harm in him being a grandfather figure, surely its a good thing, growing up with lots of family is great!!

And if ( which i really hope it does not!) turn sour, be there for your mum.
Just let her know you support what ever she does and you love her.

And just let things happen. I am sure all your worry is bothering you. But i really hope it all works out well for you all.

nikita x

I would second what nikita said!

I also grew up as part of a step family and didn't like the sound of it at first. My mum and my dad had 5 children, me being one of them, and we were quite happy just me, mum and my 4 brothers n sisters. I was 21 when it all happened and like you didn't fancy it at all. He had 3 kids from his previous marriage and I didnt want them coming sharing the house, which was only 4 bedrooms. However, i got used to it and loved having an even bigger family.

Like you, I didn't want tony playing 'dad' cos he wasn't, and I guess I didn't make much effort with him. However, before long I got to know him and found he wasn't too bad after all. I didn't want him hurting my mum either but after a short while they got married and they've had another 2 children together! Mad I know!!

Coming from experience at a similar age to you, it may seem like he will spoil things between you and your family, and perhaps you feel he is taking your mum away from you, cos thats how I felt!!! But trust me, give it time and I'm sure everything will be fine. You may get off to a rocky start cos me and my step dad did, but I hope things turn out well in the long run and I'm sure they will.

If you ever want to talk you know where I am xxx
