Is it normal to not like your stepchild?
Is it normal to resent stepchildren? In fact, it's normal. Stepparents should not feel, or be made to feel, guilty for not instantly (or ever) loving their stepkids. When they do, that guilt – if ongoing and unaddressed – can morph over time into deep-seated resentment.
How do I handle my stepson?
Communicate respect for your stepchildren by remaining calm and being honest with them, especially about your relationship with their biological parent. Understand that stepchildren may be frustrated that their biological parents are not still together. Accept that you cannot control what your stepchild thinks.
