Please especially those who have experienced international marriage and stepchild marriage.
I am a Japanese 35 year old man. My wife is an American 35 years old and a housewife.
We have four children, ages 10, 8, 5, and 2 from the top.
The two older children are the children of my wife and her ex-husband.
The ex-husband pays child support payments of $250 per person per month for a total of $500.
They have had chronic illnesses from the beginning that required hospital visits, but the ex-husband only pays $500 per month in child support.
Currently, they rarely see each other due to ex-husband's availability.
I have been with my older two since they were 4 and 2
I am proud to say that I have treated them as if they were my own.
In this day and age, especially in the US,
it is better to respect the biological father after a divorce and
treat the remarried father as a stepfather only.
My wife tells me "you are a stepfather" every time I have a conflict in parenting.
I am mortified every time.
It's been over 5 years now.
The oldest child has also been remarried longer.
Is it still just my small capacity ??
