Dear BioMom,

I know you don't like me. I know you don't like me one bit, but guess what? You don't have to, but what you do have to do is respect me. I am a part of your kids' life whether you want it or not, and chances are we'll see each other often as well, so please just get over me.

Liking someone and respecting someone are two different things. Being a StepMom is hard enough already for me to be worrying about what you think as well. I know you are my stepkid’s mom and I respect you for that. I even thank you, cause I love them as if they were my own. But don’t think that because of this you deserve every possible consideration.

So please, stop spreading rumors about me. You don’t have to like me, just respect me.

You don’t have to like me, but you do have to respect me.

We’ve all had our hardships and life goes on. You have your own things going on too, so why do you feel the need to attack me constantly, I really want to know… Why do you tell the kids I don’t love them? Why do you tell them that I lie and all I want to do is look good in front of their dad?

Why do you want to sabotage this blended family no matter what? You are a beautiful, strong woman, please stop acting like a child. Your divorce had its reasons, I don’t care what they were, but what is done is done and all we can do now is try to move forward as a united front for the kids.
