I have been in my stepdaughter’s life for eight years (she is now 12); she doesn’t know her real father, and considers me her dad. I divorced her mother a year ago, but have remained close to the devastated girl and in almost daily contact – all this for her benefit, while it would be best for me to break all ties from the family.
