INTRODUCTION

Ihad a step-father ; it's fair to say that I liked him less. His name was Dave, and he somehow managed to make my mom fall in love with him and married her. I never fancied him, but I loved my mom and went along with him because of her.

After a while, I called him father. Not because I thought he could be the father I didn't have, but because I knew it would make my mother happy. It always left a bitter taste in my mouth, and he must have known that my attempts to bond with him were never real.

I also had a stepsister, but I did not know anything about her, and I always thought it was funny that she wasn't part of our lives. Her name was Jane, and she was the fruit of his previous marriage.

During the six years that I have known Dave, he only saw his daughter a few times despite the fact that we lived only a few miles apart. He kept complaining about paying for child support, and I remember the police coming to our house a couple of times to arrest him for not paying. He was not a good husband to my mother, nor was he a good father to his daughter, and was certainly not a good step-father to me.

He never really tried to break down the barriers between us or really bond with me. We only tolerated ourselves so we could live together in peace, and when my mother died of breast cancer, we both went our different ways, and I hadn't heard about him or from him ever since then. It's been 20 years
