I don't love my step kids

I like them as people and I enjoy spending time with them but I don't love them. Maybe one day I will get there but who knows. I treat them with kindness and respect. I help them when needed. I'll do anything for them but I don't actually love them.

That is my confession.

That’s okay, no one can fault you for that. You can’t force that feeling.

I don't think anyone would blame you for that. Love is not instantaneous in these situations. It takes time. If you like them and enjoy them now, then it will likely grow to caring about them and then eventually grow to loving them. Especially if they show you kindness and respect in return.

Don't sweat it.

Meh, as long as you don’t tell them that, it’s close enough.

Strangely, I have love for my step daughter. But I don't like her as a person. She's a mean spirited person who, over the years, has sucked the life out of me.

How long have they been your step kids? If it’s recent and you don’t see them often , that’s understandable. As long as you don’t treat them poorly

I don't know if you'd call it love but I care for mine and would kill anyone who messed with them. But I definitely don't feel the same way that I do about my kids.

How old are your step kids and how long have you been in their lives?

I can't fathom marrying a man with children who I didn't love. How sad for everyone.
