I believe most of us would be shocked at first to learn that we have step-siblings when one day, out of nowhere, we pass by them in our home. Secondly, we would possibly have quite a lot of questions that we would expect our parents to answer. And finally, then, we would either try to create a relationship or maybe act like they don’t exist.
However, it’s especially important for parents to fulfill the 2nd step – explain the situation to their kids. One Reddit user recently sought help online after her husband’s affair daughter was dropped off at their house. She welcomed her, but the man has not picked up the slack that comes with having a new addition to the family.
