Love this, Jessica! As a champion worrier myself, I can relate to much of what you wrote. (Expecting to fail a test so you'd be pleasantly surprised with a decent grade - totally me as well!) Thank you for sharing your experience!
Hi! I really enjoyed your writing and much of what you shared resonates with me. I'm not a mom or stepmom, but I recently lost my fertility to endo/adeno/surgery and having that (closed/only slightly ajar) door locked permanently IS devastating. Family looks like a lot of different things, and we aren't always supportive of one another and the shapes our families take. I'm so happy you found such a beautiful group of souls to be family with. Thanks for sharing your story!
Oh I'm so sorry for what you're going through. It's terribly hard to process when the choice is taken from you. I hope you're gentle with yourself, and you are so right that family looks like a lot of different things. Thank you for reading!!
You’ve shared exactly how it is to process the first phases of being a stepmom. I remember going through the same feelings. But the feeling of priceless moments with the children, those unspeakable ones makes you smile. ☺️ I love how you evolved in the bonus mom journey. 😍
