When I met my now-wife, she had a 3-year-old daughter.<\/p>\n
I treated her like my own, and by age 4, she called me daddy.<\/p>\n
Her biological dad was inconsistent in her life, and she called him by his first name when with us.<\/p>\n
Last night, while visiting him, my stepdaughter texted me to pick her up. I arrived to find her with a swollen,<\/p>\n
painful arm from a skateboard fall. When I asked why he hadn\u2019t called my wife, he dismissed it as \u201cdramatic.<\/p>\n
My stepdaughter, in pain, asked to leave, and I told her bio dad,<\/p>\n
This is why I\u2019m her real dad, not you.\u201d At the ER until 1 a.m., it turned out her arm was broken.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
