Why are stepmom's special

This came from a comment on stepmommag.com and I just loved it so much I had to share

I think we're special because we have to earn the love of our stepkids, we have to take everything that the BM's throw at us, We show society that we love our stepkids reguardless of who gave birth...and we are rediculed for it, but we continue with our heads held high. We are labled Crazy, weird, intruders, ect just because we LOVE our kids. While they get to play victims whenever they get the chance. And no matter what the issue we are the ones who get brought up and belittled. But when there is that time the BM's need help who do they get it from....that's right US. We are STEPMOMs, woman with strength, courage, and pretty thick skin...we are beaten down, and we get right on up, we are called everyname, and even though so might penetrate and hurt, we keep on LOVING...We are classy ladies, we are stepmom's BUT we are MOM's too!
