Exact same situation in this house so it riles me when people assume the mother should do all the work with the child/children and the man gets away scot free, not every home is as lucky as we are so that's why I think fair play to Peter for stepping into the role I know the child still has her sad but she's lucky she gets an extra father figure . Just my opinion I'm sure will be slated but I think it's not right to rip McBegGinn apart for that .I was only having this conversation the other day my mums husband isn't my dad ( 18 months old when they got together).. he adopted me in 1999.. so legally and all. His brother died 2 weeks ago. He's dad's twin and I'm absolutely devastated. A friend said to me there not your family why in gods name are you so upset, my real dad has never had anything to do with me I'm now in my late 30s, by another time I was called step daughter by one of my cousin and FUCK it hurt I have never been referred as step by anyone in my life, but I hope she has a great relationship with Peter, because I have an amazing relationship with my dad
Also so sorry for your loss not easy but how lucky you were to have had an amazing Dad
